I know all of those words, but the order doesn't impart any information. Care to clarify?
Perhaps he is saying that nuclear weapons and the ineluctable radioactive consequences that go with them are bound to happen if a country is run by people who play war games as their raison d'être. I think such people are thought to exhibit a tenuous grasp of reality and the value of human life and that they are present in great numbers in Russia since there is little that culture offers in the way of an upward path in life aside from building weapons.
Thank you.
I think something very similar happened to Southern culture after the Civil war, to post colonial Britain and even now to us with the rise of globalization. The basic is when a people who have convinced themselves they are special that connects them to some notion of privilege find out they aren’t and that feeling of entitlement to privilege gets rocked and dissipates. We know that a sense of well-being brings out they liberal in us and fear the conservative trying to prevent change.
