The Shift to America's New Cold Wars

The onset of America's new cold war era marks a significant shift from the simplicity of the US-USSR nuclear contest in the old Cold War, as described by David Sanger. The new era involves a complex landscape with major nuclear powers such as Russia and China, alongside other authoritarian states forming opposing groups. The US-led Western group, including NATO allies, faces off against the China-Russia-Iran axis, leading to a more intricate geopolitical atmosphere. Unlike the predictability of the old Cold War, the new era presents interdependencies in areas like technology, complicating strategies like containment.
