I'm honestly used to an enemy making a relatively reasonable decision. But the global elites are so inoculated from any possible consequence of their actions, that they can cause extraordinary damage without batting a fucking eye.

No one ever calls them on their bullshit, so they just tell the media to say complete nonsense. They don't even see upper middle class people, so they decide that putting 50 million people out of work is fine because it can help facilitate the large-scale economic policy changes that would give them extra money. They decide that they want extra-cash, and a stronger negotiating position with Gasprom, so they overthrow the Ukrainian government, put the world on the brink of a massive war, cause the deaths of tens of thousands of people, all so they and their friends can get a cushy corporate bribery job at Burisma. They institute even more lockdowns which generate riots and the evacuation of Paris, and they simply don't react to it at all.

This total inoculation from consequence makes their behavior pig-headed and unreasonable. The Global Elites are acting less like your typical strategy and subversion focused Fabian Socialist, and more like fucking Uday Hussein.
