ANNIVERSARY OF THE COLD WAR

Manage fear

The first half of the 20th century was extremely bloody, so the most amazing thing about the Cold War is that it never developed into a "hot" one. In the modern world, traditional threats still exist, while new ones have appeared - these are problems generated by the information revolution and globalization, primarily transnational terrorism. Terrorism is not a new problem, the new problem is the "privatization" of war: on September 11, 2001, al-Qaeda killed more people than Japanese aircraft during the attack on Pearl Harbor on September 1941 years old. Today we must draw lessons from the outcome of the Cold War, but as we draw them, it is important to keep in mind the differences between that era and today.

The first lesson we can learn from the Cold War is that bloodshed is never inevitable. The probability of a conflict moving into a "hot" stage may decrease or increase, but it can always be avoided. Strictly speaking, even the Cold War itself was not inevitable. When he first read NSC 68 (a National Security Council memorandum proposing a massive American military buildup to contain the Soviet threat), President Truman was skeptical. But as North Korean forces began to advance across the 38th parallel, Truman put aside doubts and approved the allocation of huge funds for the implementation of the measures proposed in NSC 68. It is important to manage our own fears: as we watch China become a superpower, we must not let our fears determine our relationship with by this country. nine0003

The second lesson of the Cold War is that the development of conflicts depends very much on the personal qualities of specific leaders. It is impossible to understand the origin of the Cold War without understanding Stalin and Truman, and the end of the Cold War cannot be understood without understanding Gorbachev and Reagan.

Military power and economics

The third lesson is that military power has its limits. Of course, military power is important, and mutual nuclear deterrence played a big role, especially in the early stages of the Cold War. But it should be remembered, firstly, that nuclear weapons are so terrible that it is, in fact, impossible to use them - they can only serve as a deterrent. Secondly, we must remember that in the era of nationalism, which was superimposed by the information revolution, it is impossible to control a hostile population. The United States was defeated in Vietnam, the USSR in Afghanistan, despite the fact that they were nuclear powers. Today, the old model of occupation simply does not work. Unfortunately, the United States begins to understand this too late, having already found itself in Iraq. nine0003

The fourth lesson is the importance of economic power. At the end of the 20th century, we experienced what is called the third industrial or information revolution. At the heart of it is an astonishing reduction in the cost of processing and transmitting information: from 1970 to 2000, it was reduced by a thousand times! This means that the world has changed radically and the economic model that Stalin built, with its metallurgical plants and power plants, which was successful in the conditions of the second industrial revolution, is not suitable today. Today, only the market is able to respond quickly enough to the challenges of our time. nine0003

When Mikhail Gorbachev came to power, the game was already lost. The old economic system failed to adapt to the third industrial revolution. The USSR had 50,000 personal computers in 1985, while the US already had 30 million. The lesson is that it is impossible to remain competitive if we are not ready for constant innovation, for what Joseph Schumpeter calls creative destruction. The concept of "creative destruction" means that in order to get something, we must give up something, hoping that what we get will be better than what we gave up. If we simply try to keep what we have, we are likely to be doomed to failure. nine0003

Soft power and magic crystal

The fifth lesson is the importance of soft forms of influence, or soft power. Soft power is the ability to get what you want from others, not by forcing them, but by attracting them. You can achieve what you want by intimidating others (the stick method) or buying their consent (the carrot method), or you can get them to want to do what you want. This is soft power. It should be noted that in 1945 the USSR had a very large soft power potential: communism as an idea was attractive to many Europeans, and the USSR as a country that defeated fascism. But most of this potential was lost, including as a result of the invasions of Hungary and Czechoslovakia. The USSR was losing soft power as its military potential grew: the use of military power undermines the potential of soft power, and hence the overall power of the state. nine0003

It was traditionally believed that the one with the largest army would win. The lesson, however, is that in the information age, whoever has the most compelling story, whose story is able to attract people, wins. Therefore, we must use weapons against people like bin Laden, but at the same time, if we want to win, we must use soft power to attract the majority of moderate Muslims and prevent bin Laden from recruiting supporters among them.

The sixth lesson is the role of nuclear weapons. In many ways, the cold war did not become "hot" precisely because of nuclear weapons. It played the role of a "magic crystal". If the Russian Tsar, the German Kaiser and the Austrian Emperor on August 19For 14 years it was possible to show what the world would look like in August 1918, to show that the war would be lost by them, their empires would be fragmented, they would hardly dare to start a war. Nuclear weapons are so terrible that it makes you imagine what the world will look like after the war. In this sense, it really played a deterrent role.

It is important to draw lessons from the Cold War, but we must not forget the danger of straightforward analogies. Today we are dealing with new problems, and those who call the threat of international terrorism a new cold war or a fourth world war are mistaken. This war may be "long", but it will be different from previous conflicts. History never repeats itself, at best it only rhymes. nine0003

Joseph Nye, Professor at Harvard University (USA)

The article is based on the author's speech at the conference "From Fulton to Malta: How the Cold War Began and Ended" (Gorbachev Foundation, March 2005)

Rhymes of History - abrod — LiveJournal

As Mark Twain said: "History does not repeat itself, it rhymes", and today history or the one who writes it, spitting on the desire of the winners to write history for him, offered mankind and the USA and Russia a choice of several rhymes, and from this choice depends on the future of Russia and the United States and all of humanity. nine0041
If you use the analogy with the ocean, that is, storms, sometimes terrifying, but still these storms are ripples on the water, but there are ocean currents that have existed for thousands of years and if the Gulf Stream changes its course, then Western Europe and Scandinavia will freeze from the word completely and a new ice age will come, which will also last for thousands of years. And I wrote a previous post about the fact that in the United States there is now a struggle of world projects, on the basis of which the fate of mankind, and not just the people of the United States, depends, and this struggle is an ocean current, and Kerry’s negotiations with Iran, for example, which I did not consider it necessary to mention , and the publication of the saboteur manifesto in the New York Times, which I mentioned, but in passing only as an example of a relatively minor event, this is all a storm, of course, but also ripples on the water. nine0003

And the ocean current is determined by the outcome of the battle of world projects, and the outcome of the battle of world projects is determined by what event in the past we rhyme with what is happening now.
Indeed, the letter from the saboteurs to the New York Times is a ripple on the surface of the water, and the current is that all Trump's actions occur in the correct sequence,
and no storms can distract him from the implementation of the main thing: not to allow Hillary Clinton to seize control of that with the reddest button she gave Lavrov, turning Obama's reset into Clinton's overload with a flick of semantic hands. nine0041
And this main thing is being carried out in full accordance with the plan, which the Democrats foolishly published themselves, having overheard the conversation of the head of the congressional intelligence committee, Devin Nunes, with the sponsors of the Republican Party:
1. First, Judge Kovanov is approved for the role of a judge of the Supreme Court, and this senseless summoning Trump for questioning with a subpoena that is an attempt to lure Trump into the trap of perjury and which he will immediately take to the US Supreme Court, where, with God's help, US Supreme Court Justice Kavanoff /
2. Then deputy. Attorney General Rosenstern, who oversees the Mueller investigation, is impeached by the Republican Congress for refusing to release documents to Congress related to the illegal initiation of what became Mueller Commission
his place as the man to turn the Mueller Commission into an investigation into Hillary Clinton's collaboration with Russian oligarchs in fabricating false evidence of the need to investigate links to Russians in Donald Trump's campaign. nine0003

And it rhymes with the past today that, at the same time that Manafort is now being forced to cooperate with the Mueller Commission and a man-made disaster in Massachusetts, Florence, the largest hurricane in the history of hurricanes, has just hit the US coast.
And we are invited by the higher forces to choose what this hurricane will rhyme with - with Hurricane Sandy, which did not let Hillary Clinton's henchman Mita Romney into the White House, or with Hurricane Katrina, which deprived President Bush of the opportunity to kick the Bastinda flying monkeys out of the White House and prevent them from preparing 08. 08.08
