Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine has been widely described as the beginning of a new cold war, much like the old one in both its cast of characters and ideological nature. \u201cIn the contest between democracy and autocracy, between sovereignty and subjugation, make no mistake \u2014 freedom will prevail,\u201d President Biden\u00a0asserted\u00a0in a televised address to the nation the day Russian tanks rolled into Ukraine. But while Russia and the West disagree on many issues of principle, this is not a replay of the Cold War. It\u2019s an all-too-geopolitical twenty-first-century struggle for advantage on a highly contested global chessboard. If comparisons are in order, think of this moment as more akin to the situation Europe confronted prior to World War I than in the aftermath of World War II.<\/p>\n
