Dennis Kucinich, former Ohio Democratic Congressman, former Presidential candidate, and present campaign manager for Robert F. Kennedy’s Presidential bid, argues in an article posted on his substack website that the disbanding of NATO might be the only way to prevent World War III. “The proxy war of the US vs. Russia in Ukraine could easily develop into World War III,” he writes at the outset. “The litany of dangerous weaponry presaging a direct, full-scale war between the U.S. and Russia is instructive: The most advanced tanks, F-16s, depleted uranium munitions, cluster bombs, and even discussion of ‘tactical’ nuclear weapons are thrown into an already toxic admixture, always open to further miscalculation.”
Key to the problem, Kucinich argues, is NATO. “NATO military strategies have lacked cohesion and coherence and have led to stasis on the battlefield. Victory over Russia has occurred in the western media, but not on the battlefield. There will be no ceasefire because trickery is no longer an option,” he writes. “NATO officials will look to escalate the war. The U.S. knows it cannot. Clearly Europe needs a new security architecture which includes Russia with security guarantees for all member states. How can this be achieved with NATO resistance to an end to the war?”
