'With enough pressure, we may force the Powers That Be to find the compromises midst the cracks in their imperial commitments that secure our future.'
During the first days of the Ukraine war, former Senator Sam Nunn warned that the Ukraine War was a Cuban Missile Crisis in slow motion. That warning was recently reiterated by senior analysts in Moscow during an off the record conversation. The war is about Ukraine and much more: power, privileges, the security disorder in Europe; the future of Putin's rule; and Biden/Blinken efforts to reinforce U.S. hegemony in the face of pressures for a bipolar or multi-polar world disorder.
While debate rages on the Internet, it is clear that Putin's ill-conceived, illegal, and brutal invasion of Ukraine was triggered by a combination of frustrated Russian imperial ambitions and Washington's arrogant expansion of NATO to Russia's borders. The turning point came in 2008 when, against French and German opposition and Fiona Hill's admonitions, W. Bush pressed NATO to extend its welcome mat to Ukraine and Georgia.
Just as the military doctrines and political ineptness of the European powers transformed the 1914 guns of August into a World War, Russian and U.S. nuclear arsenals and doctrines should alarms us all. Russian nuclear doctrine calls for the use of nuclear weapons if and when the Russian state is in jeopardy, and Putin is the Russian state.
