Jozef Hrabina: Simultaneous containment of China and Russia resulted in US’ power overstretch

In the book Destined for War, American political scientist Graham Allison uses the term Thucydides Trap referring to a hypothesis that when one great power menaces another, war is almost always inevitable. The term is widely used in the context of U.S.- China relations. In the case of Washington and Beijing, the relative decline of America’s power and the rapid rise of China’s power destabilize their relationship. Using Thucydides Trap theory, Jozef Hrabina, geopolitical analyst, studied Russian strategic thinking and reasons behind conflict in Ukraine.
