Edward Curtin Experienced foreign policy analysts such as Ray McGovern, Scott Ritter, and Pepe Escobar, while agreeing that the Biden administration is clearly guilty of provoking Russia over Ukraine, are divided over whether it will lead to war.

Moscou a jeté un caillou dans le jardin américain ! En janvier, la diplomatie russe a évoqué un déploiement militaire à Cuba et au Venezuela, en réponse à la progression de l'Otan en Europe de l'Est. Ce que Washington n'a pas du tout apprécié. « Si la Russie devait aller dans cette direction, nous réagirions avec détermination », a menacé le conseiller pour la Sécurité nationale à la Maison-Blanche, piqué au vif. Car les États-Unis voient toujours l'Amérique latine comme leur pré carré, explique Salim Lamrani, (...)
