A 30-year-old document written by someone of a completely different era (and political party) to the current administration has nothing to do with anything.
Joe Biden is not going to initiate nuclear strikes. Russia has automated nuclear weapons that would launch without human intervention, leading to the end of the world.
If Biden doesn't initiate nuclear strikes and Russia wins this war, the only thing lost would be Ukraine.
If Biden does initiate unclear strikes, the entire world would be lost.
Biden is not going to sacrifice all human life to save Ukraine.
Read up on mutually-assured destruction.

I hate to break this to you but the neocons are still well in control of the US. Wolfowitz is a neocon.
Actually, I think the initiation will come from the US side. Read up on the Wolfowitz Doctrine. The US will not allow that they lose the 'Number One', 'Exceptional' crown and will do anything to prevent that.
