The plans are said to be defensive, but such plans have always been in existence since the Cold War. Since then they have been occasionally tweaked.
I’m confident that this particular update is a big tweak considering the changing climate over the Ukraine war and Russia’s frustration of its progress due to NATO and European support.
I have no doubt that things will escalate and Russia will resort to use of a tactical nuke or two. From there things will slowly escalate to the global stage.
About 17 years ago there was a unheard of Military news type paper that was circulated among command officers. Sometimes they get passed down to lower ranking officers and eventually to NCO’s.
I was fortunate to have one fall into my lap.
In it there was one bit that talked about European war and world models with Russia and a super computer used to help assess on the fly tactical decisions, geopolitical environments….the works! (Some computer huh). Don’t tell me they didn’t have AI back then!
They would run simulations after inputing updated parameters about every 4-6 months (if I recall). Every new model would confirm the previous one in that the beginning of a global conflict (WW3) starts with War in Ukraine and tactical nukes.
Make sense?
Do I believe it? Well…..the war started in Ukraine where as 17 or so years ago, Russia had not even staged to invade Crimea.
Thats godda have some merit.
