Friday Focus: staring down the barrel of a NATO-Russia war
Friday Focus: staring down the barrel of a NATO-Russia war
On this week’s Friday Focus, Rudyard and Janice dedicate the entire Friday Focus episode to the very dangerous showdown taking place between Putin and the West. In what could be the tipping point in the war in Ukraine, Western powers are contemplating giving Ukraine permission to use their long range missiles to strike deep within Russia. Rudyard and Janice worry that in Zelensky’s desperation, he is forgetting that nuclear powers like Russia get to play by different rules to restore credible deterrence. Is the West prepared to enter into a NATO-Russia war? And why are Western leaders not taking these potentially civilization-ending decisions with the seriousness they require? And finally, how did we get to this dangerous precipice of history? In an era of dual use technology, we would all benefit from less hubris and more humility.
