Essay: Nuclear weapons were once thought to deter conventional conflict. Now Russia is using them to shield its aggression—an example China is watching.
Washington needs to develop new strategies for a world where nuclear weapons don’t deter conventional aggressionOn the eve of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Vladimir Putin issued a nuclear warning. He admonished that “anyone who tries to interfere with us…must know that Russia’s response will be immediate and will lead you to such consequences as you have never before experienced in your history.
The U.S. cannot overlook these chilling threats. They are part of a deliberate strategy to advance Russia’s revisionist political and military goals. Countering them will require the U.S. and its friends to tailor both their conventional and their nuclear postures to the emerging danger—not only in the current crisis with Russia but also to prepare for the possibility that China might follow the same playbook in a future war over Taiwan.
