Abstract: The US’s ability to project power in Eurasia has been declining for some time. With the pandemic accelerating that decline, reviving international institutions of conflict management becomes urgent. Enhancing the UN and other atrophied international organizations, and negotiating treaties on nuclear arms issues, cyber warfare, space warfare, and new weapons are measures that have become necessary for minimizing the chance of nuclear catastrophe as well as reducing the likelihood of other wars.
