One wonders if this had something to do with Putin’s nuclear saber-rattling, to erase any Western temptation to land cruise missiles on the war-crimes-in-waiting traffic jam outside Kyiv — PolitiTweet.org

For more, see this very smart @russianforces thread on what Putin's nuclear announcement means on a technical level. It's not a step toward premeditated nuclear war. https://t.co/NniwSBrcgU — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
So what does all this mean? Putin is not insane; he is not going to deliberately start a nuclear war. Rather, the main risk is a freak accident or miscalculation that sets either side hurtling toward last-ditch "defensive" strikes in error — very unlikely, but not impossible. — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
Total nuclear annihilation was avoided in 1983 only because a Soviet air defense officer, Stanislav Petrov, refused to transmit his early warning to Moscow for fear that his equipment might be faulty. It was, and Petrov averted a total nuclear war by lucky guesswork. — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
False launch detections have happened. In 1983, amid a moment of high US-Soviet tensions, a Soviet early warning station detected massive American missile launches. Moscow had feared exactly such a decapitation strike, seemingly now minutes from landing. — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
Technological advances mean that both sides can now land devastating nuclear strikes within minutes. This forces extremely short response times: if Moscow believes it's detected a launch, it might have only 15 mins to decide whether to retaliate before its forces are obliterated. — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
The second major scenario for unintended nuclear escalation is if one side believes that the other is about to, or has already, launched a full nuclear strike. This is both the less likely and more concerning possibility. — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
This is why careful signaling by Western govts is so important. The West is rapidly building up its deterrence forces in NATO countries bordering Russia/Belarus. It's not too far from those borders to Moscow, so clarity of intentions is a matter of global life-and-death. — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
NATO has no desire to topple the Kremlin by force (nuclear deterrent, etc) so Moscow would only believe this was coming if it misread some surprise or accidental escalation – say, a skirmish across the Belarus-Poland border – as cover for, or the start of, an attack on Moscow. — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
The first is that Moscow believes it is about to face an overwhelming conventional attack from NATO that will decapitate the Russian govt and can only be repelled through nuclear strikes. — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
With Putin's nuclear escalation today, the odds of nuclear conflict remain very small but are rising slightly. The greatest risk isn't a premeditated nuclear attack, which both sides know would be catastrophic. Rather, there are two scenarios for a possible nuclear exchange. — PolitiTweet.org

2 lessons from the past 24hrs: (1) Russia facing far harder time than it expected on every front: military, diplomatic, especially domestic (2) Russia still capable of & intent on taking Kiev to force regime change Unclear what bearing 1 has on 2. Maybe a lot. Maybe not enough. — PolitiTweet.org

I understand the appeal of calling for sanctions targeting just Putin and his cronies/oligarchs. But the world already tried this, in 2014, and it just made the oligarchs more reliant on Putin. The Russian state is their piggybank and its resources are vast. — PolitiTweet.org

There is now a real, live question as to whether Vladimir Putin is still a rational actor. It’s being asked by diplomats, Russia experts, and IR scholars. I don’t claim to know the answer, but the implications of it even being asked are hard to overstate. — PolitiTweet.org
