Ross Douthat, a New York Times columnist, argued that there may come a time when U.S. interests diverge from Ukraine's in order to prevent nuclear war.
NEWcolumnist Ross Douthat argued Saturday that America should take Russian President Vladimir Putin's threats of using nuclear weapons in the Ukraine conflict seriously and that the world is closer to nuclear war than it has been in recent times.
"Across almost eight decades the possibility of nuclear war has been linked to complex strategic calculations, embedded in command-and-control systems, subject to exhaustive war games," Douthat wrote."Yet every analysis comes down to unknowable human elements as well: Come the crisis, the awful moment, how does a decisive human actor choose?"
"This problem is worth pondering because the world is probably now closer to the use of nuclear weapons than at any point in decades—and just how close may depend on the unknowable mental states of the Russian dictator," Douthat argued.
