The Cold War’s Not Back, but Nuclear Gamesmanship Is

Convincing the other side that America may execute the riskiest options may be the best way of ensuring that the U.S. never has to use them.

Collected: 2025-10-27 21:28:07 +0000 Analyzed: 2025-10-27 21:29:24 +0000 ## Overall takeaway The Pentagon's renewed focus on nuclear conflict highlights escalating tensions with Russia and the implications for global security. ## Conceptual model - Increased Pentagon focus on nuclear conflict since Cold War. - Russia's 'escalate to de-escalate' strategy complicates NATO dynamics. - Military exercises simulate nuclear scenarios with Russia. - Introduction of low-yield nuclear warheads raises concerns. - Debate on nuclear strategy echoes Cold War discussions. ## Next steps (optional) - Monitor developments in U.S.-Russia military exercises. - Engage in discussions on nuclear strategy and deterrence. - Explore implications for NATO's defense posture. ## Short summary The document discusses the renewed focus on nuclear conflict by the Pentagon, especially under the Obama and Trump administrations, highlighting military exercises simulating nuclear scenarios with Russia. It emphasizes Russia's 'escalate to de-escalate' strategy, raising concerns about the implications for NATO and global security. ## Comprehensive summary - • The Pentagon is increasingly focused on nuclear conflict, a shift observed since the Cold War's end, with notable efforts by both the Obama and Trump administrations to prepare for potential nuclear scenarios involving Russia. - • Recent military exercises, including a war game led by Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, simulate limited nuclear conflicts with Moscow, reflecting heightened concerns about geopolitical tensions. - • The Navy has introduced a submarine-launched, low-yield nuclear warhead aimed at addressing such scenarios, prompting criticism that these actions are provocative and dangerous. - • The ongoing debate revisits fundamental questions about nuclear strategy and deterrence, reminiscent of discussions during the Cold War's final stages. - • A central theme in this discourse is Russia's "escalate to de-escalate" strategy, where it could use conventional forces to seize NATO territory and subsequently introduce nuclear weapons to deter NATO's response. - • This strategy highlights the complexities of modern nuclear statecraft, where geopolitical rivalries compel nations to consider seemingly irrational tactics to manage conflicts. ## Entities - keyword: scenario, territory, forces, escalate, strategy, such, nuclear, moscow, conflict, nato - location: Soviet Union, Estonia, Russia, US, Baltic, Russian, Moscow - organization: North Atlantic Treaty Organization, Navy, Defense, NATO, Bloomberg, Pentagon - person: Mark Esper, Hal Brands, Barack Obama, Donald Trump ## Related content 1. Marked for Death by a Reckless America?, by Ron Unz - The Unz Review Why: similarity 0.94 Summary: • Ron Unz argues that the State of Israel and Zionist movement have employed assassination as a tool of statecraft more heavily than any other political entity in recorded history • Israel recently conducted a massive decapitation strike against Iran, successfully assassinating most of Iran's highest military commanders, political leaders, and prominent nuclear scientists during nuclear negotiations • The U.S. has dramatically escalated its use of political assassinations over the past two decades, particularly after 9/11, moving from 47 under Bush to 542 under Obama • American political life has been almost entirely captured by the "Israel Lobby," with politicians increasingly selected for their loyalty to Israel rather than America • Evidence suggests American involvement in recent assassination attempts against both Vladimir Putin and efforts to destroy Russia's strategic nuclear bomber fleet • American foreign policy establishment has convinced itself that the governments of Iran, Russia, and China are fragile and ripe for collapse if their leaders are eliminated • Hudson Institute published a 65,000-word report suggesting China's government might collapse and proposing U.S. military deployment inside China to seize facilities and reconstruct the government • Xi Jinping and Putin have both drastically reduced foreign travel, particularly avoiding Western hemisphere destinations, likely due to assassination concerns • The adoption of Israeli-style assassination tactics by America represents a dangerous departure from centuries of Western diplomatic norms and civilized warfare • This "Israelization" of American foreign policy reflects delusional thinking about rival nations' strength and stability, creating extreme risks for global conflict URL:

2. A Forceful Russian Response to NATO Recklessness, by Ron Unz - The Unz Review Why: similarity 0.93 Summary: Here is a summary of the document in bullet points: • Ukraine launched "Operation Spiderweb" on June 1st, using advanced explosive drones hidden in shipping containers to attack five major Russian airbases housing strategic nuclear bombers deep within Russia's interior • Ukraine claimed to have destroyed one-third of Russia's nuclear bomber fleet, though actual damage was likely 10-15%, marking the first time in history a nuclear superpower's strategic arsenal was directly attacked • Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated Russia had "100% certainty" that British forces orchestrated the attacks, with experts like John Mearsheimer agreeing Western intelligence and reconnaissance capabilities were essential for such sophisticated operations • The timing coincided with mysterious drone flights reported 18 months earlier on the U.S. East Coast, later admitted to be classified American military operations, suggesting long-term Western planning • Days before the airbase attacks, Putin's personal helicopter was reportedly targeted by Ukrainian drones in a suspected assassination attempt during his visit to Kursk • Despite Russia's military doctrine allowing nuclear response to attacks on its nuclear arsenal, Putin's government showed restraint, focusing instead on condemning Ukrainian attacks on civilian targets • The author argues these actions represent unprecedented recklessness by NATO allies, potentially involving attempts to cripple Russia's nuclear deterrent and assassinate its president, creating extreme geopolitical instability • Western pundits sympathetic to Russia predicted Putin would be forced to take exceptionally strong retaliatory measures to maintain domestic support and deter future attacks URL:

A Forceful Russian Response to NATO Recklessness

How a Deft Strategic Blow Could Shatter the Western Alliance

3. Russia will not attack Nato | The Spectator Why: similarity 0.93 Summary: • **Russia lacks intent and capability to attack NATO**: Britain's Chief of Defence Staff Admiral Sir Tony Radakin counters "alarmist" narratives, stating Russia would lose quickly in any conflict with NATO due to the alliance's nuclear and conventional superiority • **Putin's consistent position**: Putin has called suggestions of attacking NATO "utterly baseless" and historically stated "only an insane person thinks Russia would attack NATO." He understands the catastrophic costs of direct aggression against a nuclear alliance • **Russia is strategically defensive**: Since failing to quickly capture Ukraine in 2022, Russia has shifted to defensive posture, absorbing eastern Ukrainian territories while signaling desire to keep the conflict localized and avoid escalation with NATO • **Military limitations are severe**: After suffering 350,000 casualties and controlling only 18.5% of Ukraine after ten years of conflict, Russia's military is depleted. Experts estimate at least 10 years needed to re-equip forces, complicated by sanctions and industrial constraints • **Western response recommendations**: Support Ukraine to deny Russia strategic advantage, protect vulnerable non-NATO neighbors, maintain credible NATO deterrence, increase sanctions on Russia's military-industrial complex, and counter Russian indirect aggression through political warfare, disinformation, and cyber attacks • **Focus on societal resilience**: Following George Kennan's Cold War wisdom, strengthening Western society's "self-confidence, discipline, morale and community spirit" is as important as defense spending to counter Putin's strategy of dividing and weakening the West through indirect means URL:

4. Does Donald Trump Really "Run the World"?, by Philip Giraldi - The Unz Review Why: similarity 0.92 Summary: - • Philip Giraldi critiques Donald Trump's assertion of "running the world," suggesting a disconnect between his rhetoric and actual governance. - • Trump’s political movement, MAGA (Make America Great Again), focuses on reshaping federal bureaucracy and addressing illegal immigration. - • Giraldi highlights Trump’s foreign policy missteps, including withdrawing from the JCPOA and canceling the Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, exacerbating global tensions. - • The assassination of Iranian General Qassim Soleimani and military actions in Syria are cited as examples of Trump's aggressive foreign policy. - • Giraldi argues that Trump’s approach to international relations lacks nuance and understanding, often resorting to threats of military action. - • His relationship with Israel is portrayed as overly submissive, prioritizing Israeli interests over U.S. national interests. - • Trump’s statements and policies reflect a commitment to Israel, ignoring humanitarian crises and war crimes in Gaza, which he fails to acknowledge. - • The document discusses the implications of Trump’s administration conditioning FEMA funding on states’ business relations with Israeli entities, stifling free speech and business decisions based on moral grounds. - • Giraldi concludes that Trump’s administration exhibits a bias that prioritizes Israel above American taxpayer interests, highlighting the unique status Israel holds in U.S. foreign policy.

5. (1) Putin's Gambit - Real Scott Ritter Why: similarity 0.92 Summary: • Project 38 aims to promote effective arms control and disarmament policy to prevent a new nuclear arms race between the U.S. and Russia. • The campaign seeks to maintain the limitations on U.S. and Russian strategic nuclear arsenals under the New START treaty, which is set to expire on February 5, 2026. • Without diplomatic engagement, the concept of arms control is at risk as New START is currently in a weakened state due to U.S. policies focused on confrontation rather than peace. • President Putin has expressed willingness to observe New START limitations for one year post-expiration, contingent upon U.S. actions that maintain strategic stability. • Concerns exist over the U.S. “Golden Dome” missile defense system, which Russia believes could destabilize deterrence and impede compliance with New START limitations. • Project 38's goals include extending New START, negotiating a replacement arms control treaty, and delaying the Golden Dome deployment during negotiations. • The Trump administration has made decisions that could disrupt strategic nuclear balances, emphasizing the importance of arms control. • Despite recognizing the dangers of allowing nuclear restrictions to lapse, the Trump administration has weakened diplomatic institutions necessary for negotiations. • Project 38 emphasizes the need for a citizen engagement team to offer expert advice on arms control issues, particularly regarding the expiration of New START. • A meeting of specialists in Poughkeepsie, New York will work on solutions to these pressing arms control challenges, reinforcing the urgency of maintaining existing limitations. • The success of Project 38 and related initiatives is crucial for global security and the prevention of nuclear conflict between the U.S. and Russia.

7. Trump's "Super Duper" Delusion - Real Scott Ritter Why: similarity 0.92 Summary: - • The article critiques Donald Trump's claims about the U.S. possessing advanced hypersonic missiles, specifically a so-called "super-duper missile" that is purportedly 17 times faster than competitors. - • Trump's assertions about missile capabilities began in 2020, but the reality is that the U.S. hypersonic missile programs, including the AGM-183A and the Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile (HACM), have faced significant failures and cost overruns. - • Despite investments nearing $2 billion, neither the AGM-183A nor the HACM is operational; both programs have been plagued by test failures, leading to the shutdown of the ARRW program. - • The article introduces the Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW), or "Dark Eagle," which is also not yet operational, further emphasizing the delayed timelines in hypersonic weapon development. - • The U.S. military's deployment of Dark Eagle during exercises has been criticized as a disinformation tactic, as no actual missiles were present, only launchers that lack final testing approval. - • The failure of these hypersonic programs reflects poorly on the Trump administration's defense initiatives, showcasing a gap in U.S. capabilities compared to Russia, China, and even regional adversaries. - • A key issue hindering the development of hypersonic weapons is the lack of specialized workforce and infrastructure, which leads to "planned incompetence" in defense contracting. - • The article argues that standard defense contracting practices, which prioritize profit over quality, have resulted in subpar products that do not meet military requirements, exemplified by the challenges faced by the F-35 fighter program.

Trump's "Super Duper" Delusion

The President thinks we have the best missiles in the world. The truth is far different: our missiles do not work.
