Western leaders acknowledge the reality of a new Cold War, as authoritarian regimes in Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran align against the U.S.-led international order. Coordination between these regimes poses a significant threat, with Russia receiving support from China, Iran, and North Korea in its war against Ukraine. Western governments are cautious in their response, fearing escalation and a potential shooting war. President Biden’s approach of providing limited support to Ukraine aims to maintain a stalemate but risks encouraging further aggression. Former President Trump’s support for Russia’s actions sets a dangerous precedent. The West must confront these threats through information warfare, seeking peaceful regime change and avoiding the horrors of a nuclear conflict.
