Anatol Lieven in International Relations and Security Network | 'Finance: Harsh Truths'

Professor Anatol Lieven of the New America Foundation and Kings College London believes that the new economic pressures will limit US and UK ambitions.

"The new constraints on western financial resources, coming on top of the overstretch of US and British military power, mean that many ambitious projects cannot now seriously be contemplated. Among these are the further expansion of NATO, and any further large-scale military interventions," he told ISN Security Watch. LINK
