And I'm also concerned that with other nationalist and especially some right-wing movements, that Putin may not be the only game in town. The results of instability in Russia are not wholly predictable. And remember potential (and real) Islamists on the southern border.And no, turmoil or a power vacuum in Russia may not be a strictly internal issue. And they have nuclear weapons. The Soviet Union was a genuine threat during the Cold War, but MAD worked because both the Soviets and the U.S. knew the probable result of a nervous trigger finger. We have lots of people in the world now how could care less, and fear of retaliation isn't even on their radar. |
