Biden should wake up: old nuclear strategies in the war in Ukraine do not work - expert

According to Roger Zakheim, Director of the Ronald Reagan Institute, in the XXI century war, not the scale of the army is important, but the speed and efficiency of what experts call the Kill Chain chain. It is a threat recognition system and goals. The war in Ukraine showed that the digital era equals countries, regardless of their military power. Ukraine skillfully uses accurate weapons, unmanned technologies and encryption technologies, which gives preference to the battlefield.

Russia also relies on conventional military force. But at the same time, Roger Zacheim, Director of Ronald Reagan Institute in Washington, draws attention to the fact that nuclear threats are still effective. About it reports Fox News. Western technologies, together with the determination of the Ukrainian military, allowed not only to restrain the promotion of Russian troops, but also to return some of the captured territories.

Microchips and software are more beneficial than from tanks and infantry: the digital army was stronger than the usual. The possibilities and concepts used today in the war in Ukraine have not previously gone beyond the pages of research documents and were used only in military simulators.

In the war of the 21st century, not only the number of the army is important as the speed and efficiency of what experts call the Kill Chain (Kill Chain): a network of programmable systems that allow the military to quickly recognize threats, identify goals and strike. This uses satellite data, autonomous systems and SI-algorithms. In the war against Russia, Ukraine built a wonderful chain of destruction, says Roger Zacchaim.

The software can be an argument against steel, but not against the energy of the atom. Western nuclear strategies and military planners have not been completely prepared, says Zacchaim.

Instead of increasing the opportunities that would not allow the enemy to resort to nuclear strike, the Presidential Administration of Biden exist moods that were appropriate in the period after the Cold War: instead of developing new nuclear weapons that could be used on the battlefield, priority Negotiations on weapons control remain.

Some representatives of Biden administration believe that the US should follow the "No First Use" rules, according to which the US should not be the first to strike in no circumstances. But at the same time the whole restraint effect provided by American nuclear weapons will disappear. The rule will not be the first to weaken the United States and allies before Russia. In addition, such a step will be an invitation to strike a nuclear strike in Ukraine, the researcher says.

The problem is not limited to Russia. On how the free world responds to Putin threats will depend on what notes in the future Iran, China and North Korea can act in the future. Ronald Reagan's Presidential Fund and Institute is a non -profit organization that deals with Ronald Reagan's heritage, its principles of personal freedom, equality of economic opportunities, global democracy and national pride. Recall that the British military analyst told whether rockets end in Russia.
