2 chapters across the catalog

The concept of "escalation dominance" is explored, with Dr. Boyle explaining how neocons believe they can force Russia to back down by moving up the threat ladder. He references the theories of Herman Kahn and Thomas Schelling, noting that the current administration is "going for broke" in a dangerous game of nuclear chicken. Boyle warns that unlike the Soviet leaders of 1962, Vladimir Putin is unlikely to "throw in the towel" given the existential nature of the threat to Russia.

Vladimir Putin has issued an ultimatum to President Biden, demanding legal guarantees that NATO will not expand further eastward or place weapon systems near Russian territory. Jones criticizes the NATO Secretary General's dismissal of Russia's concerns, arguing that the US is breaking agreements made in 1991. He characterizes the Biden administration as "brain dead" and hijacked by globalist interests.
