"Trump Signals War With Putin -
“We Will Strike Russia”
"For decades, U.S. presidents relied on strategic ambiguity to manage confrontation with Russia. That era may be ending. In this breaking geopolitical analysis, John Mearsheimer examines a moment that signals a fundamental shift in deterrence, as President Trump publicly warns that the United States is prepared to strike Russia if Vladimir Putin crosses newly defined lines. This is not about rhetoric or personality. It’s about credibility, escalation, and how great‑power competition changes when ambiguity collapses.
This video takes a different angle than the headlines. It’s not about outrage or theatrics. It’s about how explicit red lines alter incentives, compress decision‑making timelines, and increase the risk of miscalculation between nuclear‑armed states. This is not a media spectacle. It is a structural recalibration of deterrence with global consequences. When red lines are drawn publicly, there is less room to maneuver - and far less margin for error. The world is now watching how Moscow responds, how Washington follows through, and whether fear produces restraint or confrontation."
