The nuclear fear is building around the planet.. after all these decades of “mutually assured destruction” … after a Cuban Missile Crisis in which Kennedy privately made a deal… after the 1980s Star Wars race..
It has come to this in the modern age: Vladimir Putin vs the world. And he has nukes..
According to Russia watcher Fiona Hill, Putin would use nukes..
She told this to POLITICO in a rare interview:“Ukraine has become the front line in a struggle, not just between democracies and autocracies but in a struggle for maintaining a rules-based system in which the things that countries want are not taken by force,” Hill said. “Every country in the world should be paying close attention to this.”
There’s lots of danger ahead, she warned. Putin is increasingly operating emotionally and likely to use all the weapons at his disposal, including nuclear ones. It’s important not to have any illusions — but equally important not to lose hope.
“Every time you think, ’No, he wouldn’t, would he?’ Well, yes, he would,” Hill said. “And he wants us to know that, of course. It’s not that we should be intimidated and scared…. We have to prepare for those contingencies and figure out what is it that we’re going to do to head them off.”
