We are in a crisis of civilization, and these are dangerous times. This clash between two superpowers with nuclear weapons is unacceptable. Once again ego—and desire for power, oil, and money—is bringing us to the brink of war. We need a moral reset in the worst way.
We must remember, in a nuclear age, “contained war” is a concept that could easily lead to catastrophic nuclear annihilation.
The danger of war in a nuclear era is that war is designed to win. Winning means escalation, and, with nuclear powers, escalation can mean from conventional to nuclear to ultimate destruction very quickly.
I would never presume to know all that is going on, but I do know we are seeing a crisis of conflict and civilization that is dangerous. There must be a moral call for the nation of Russia and the U.S. and NATO to find and seek another way.
