Robert Dannenberg, former chief of the CIA's Counterterrorism Center and head of the Center for Cyber and Information Operations, stated this on Espreso."It is important for everyone to realize that the war in Ukraine is key to restoring a system of deterrence that can give the world another century of relative peace. If Vladimir Putin achieves his goals in Ukraine, it will be a powerful signal to President Xi that aggression yields results. This message will also be interpreted in Pyongyang, with possible consequences for peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula. It will also resonate with the leadership of Iran, reinforcing its sense of entitlement to a nuclear program and influencing its approach to the region," Dannenberg explained.According to the former CIA department head, Ukraine's defeat in the war will lead to a global war."It all comes down to Ukraine. If Ukraine loses, the global strategic paradigm will shift in a direction that could lead to an even larger and more destructive war," he added.On Friday, October 17, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting with American leader Donald Trump at the White House. The leaders spoke for over two hours. Among the key topics were security guarantees, Tomahawks, and territories.
