6/6 India’s failure to escape paralysis triggered a search for a damage limitation strategy. In contrast, the United States pursues a tit-for-tat strategy to neutralize substrategic paralysis.

I @Aftenposten argumenterer jeg for at debatten rundt militærbistand til Ukraina og atomfaren ikke kan belage seg på sannsynlighetsestimater alene. Fordi enhver sannsynlighet, uansett hvor lav, må sees i lys av et mulig utfall: i dette tilfellet atomkrig. aftenposten.no/meninger/deba…

Hvor mye er vi villige til å øke atomfaren for å bistå Ukraina?

Putin byr opp til russisk atomrulett.

First, nuclear imbalances and advancements in counterforce technologies create a damage limitation incentive for a strong actor. Second, conventional asymmetry creates an incentive for the coercive use of nuclear weapons by the weaker player.

Finally, this article illustrates that these asymmetric conditions are a relevant characteristic in important and very different nuclear dyads: DPRK–US, Pakistan–India, and Russia–US. Thus, the model demonstrates the potential core drivers of DNFU in today’s nuclear landscape.
