Back to square one? The Russia\u2013NATO conflict<\/h2>\r\nMore and more Cold War power dynamics can be seen\u00a0in Europe. Yet again - we are reminding that the \"End of History\" thesis of Fukuyama couldn't be more wrong - compare the article \u00a0here<\/a>. Below is a kind of chessboard illustrating the current NATO vs. Russia conflict.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThere are just over 17,000 nuclear weapons worldwide, and only about 500 of those are held by countries other than NATO members and Russia. Even during peaceful years, this region remains potentially the most dangerous place on Earth. And instability between the two great powers is rising.\r\n\r\n\"The\r\n\r\nThe confrontation between NATO and Russia - bases and nukes on both sides.\r\n\r\n

Regional conflicts - backed by larger forces<\/h2>\r\nCrimea and\u00a0eastern Ukraine are just the newest hot spots along a larger, continent-wide fault line. The border between NATO-allied Europe on one side and Russia on the other side is dotted with herds\u00a0of instability - including several separatist regions that Moscow and its allies support. One reason for this support is that Russia wants to keep this regions in the own influence zone. The EU for example doesn't allow countries with border conflicts to become members. So the Russian strategy here is to artificially create such border conflicts to make sure these countries can't join Western organisations. Also, it is a strong signal to other countries that have to decide between the planned, Moscow-controlled Eurasian Union (EEU) and the\u00a0EU or NATO (=become pro-Western).<\/span>\r\n\r\nAdditional articles and resources<\/span>\r\n
