John Mearsheimer & Sergey Karaganov discuss why Russia is under mounting pressure to restore its deterrence, which will likely escalate quickly to a nuclear strike on Europe. Mearsheimer and Karaganov agree that a nuclear strike would likely be successful to restore deterrence as the US would not respond. Prof. Karaganov is an Honorary Chairman of the Council on Foreign and Defense and was an advisor for Russia's political elites for decades. Prof. Karaganov wrote speeches for Brezhnev and advised Gorbachev, Yeltsin and Putin. Prof. Mearsheimer is the R.
