the illusions of escalation control
12-09-2024Two recent publications, mentioned in the attached document, should make clear, that we are facing radical evil (term once used for the Nazi Regime by Hannah Ahrendt and discussed in my forthcoming book) not only from the Putin evil kleptocracy in Russia or individual dictatorships, but now by a cooperating network of autocracies, supporting each other. Together a much greater danger to our democracies and the world at large than ever before. They help each other in repression, fake news, evading sanctions etc, working among other things through covered funds held by Western financial institutions. The Murder in the Gulag makes quite clear that the dictators equally support each other in their gulags. It is an illusion that the aggressive wars they fight can be kept within limits by avoiding so called escalation. Useless, the aggressor controls his escalation simply by what is needed to achieve its goal. As we can see all to clearly, restrictions on weaponn deliveries to Ukraine so far and each time had the opposite effect. Longer war and many more destructions and victims.
