Currently, the West has no strategy, no plan, and no tactics to confront Putin's master plan other than imposing limited economic sanctions, which have done little to deter Putin's aggression—and may well have encouraged and facilitated it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe viewpoint taken here is not just alarmism, but an accurate and, for the first time, clear and sober portrayal of a frightening situation that, more and more, serious observers of European and Russian politics are openly recognising and acknowledging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePutin's Master Plan\u003c\/em\u003e makes the case that it is essential to wake up to Putin's strategy to destroy Europe, divide NATO, and build a new empire in the former Soviet Union. Russia has demonstrated an extraordinary level of aggression, most boldly in its outright invasions of Georgia and Ukraine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAmerican weakness and a divided Europe have left Russia's terrified neighbours without an alternative to Russian domination, and even once-stalwart American allies such as the Republic of Georgia are on the brink of becoming part of Putin's new empire in Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePutin has made it clear that he sees NATO expansion as a fundamental threat to Russian nationhood, and he is systematically challenging the NATO Alliance as well as the United States. So far, he is winning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471418212588,"sku":"9781594038891","price":54.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781594038891-putin-s-master-plan.jpg?v=1775242515","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/putins-master-plan-by-douglas-e-schoen-9781594038891","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
