It is an exaggeration to write that nuclear war spells the end of humanity. You and I may perish, but some people would do ok. The asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs was equivalent to a billion 100 kt nuclear weapons. A few thousand warheads would not cause global extinction.

I disagree on one point. The new western ukrain must be protected by a nuclear power. The mutual destruction strategy is the only way to make peace in a nuclear world. The current situation of a non nuclear ukrain with no nuclear alliances is what has led to this invasion by a nuclear power. The new order determines that all non nuclear nations must align with a major nuclear power for protection.

On a side note, (edited error) Victor Davis makes conclusions based on some blatantly wrong suppositions. I could go into details if requested. But they are so critically amateur that I cannot decide if he is very uninformed or just motivated to lie. Me, Im a Kotkinist.

Yes, its time to cut a very comprehensive deal with vlad (including hacking protections, space, arctic, etc) and start to focus on the communist party of china.
