Two scenarios of the start of a nuclear war with the United States were called in Russia

3
After the election of Trump as president, the United States began to systematically destroy the already fragile architecture of world security, the likelihood of a global nuclear conflict significantly increased.



Academician Aleksey Arbatov, head of the Center for International Security at IMEMO RAS, said that he could cause a full-scale exchange of nuclear strikes. It is reported RIA News".

According to the academician, in the context of relations between Russia and the United States, the most likely is an unintended nuclear conflict, since both sides know that it is impossible to win such a war, and they will not risk consciously unleashing a nuclear conflict.

It should be noted that the opinion of the scientist echoes the opinion of the Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia, Sergey Ryabkov, who believes that with the deterioration of the situation in the field of strategic stability, the risk of a conflict starts increasing contrary to the intentions of the parties.

Alexei Aratov believes that the reasons for the sudden onset of a nuclear war between Russia and the United States may be technical failure of the missile attack warning system, which will be interpreted as a real message about the launch of enemy missiles, or aggravation of a local conflict, which, breaking out in a separate region, will develop into a full-scale nuclear war.

It is difficult to disagree with the academician’s opinion, and US intentions to deploy medium-range systems that will inevitably lead to retaliatory steps on the part of Russia will only increase the likelihood of an unintentional start of the conflict.

    The most likely scenario is simply the need for a "small" victorious nuclear war for the United States, as a kind of trial strike in order to consolidate its shaky, both economic and political position in the world, and especially in Europe, in connection with the confrontation with Russia and China ... But with Russia and the Celestial Empire it will not work, but in the Middle East, with those who are weaker, at least with the same Iran - easily, only a dozen tactical warheads - and an ominous silence will come in the world for several years - the world will comprehend and incite "what, why, and how much", but the first option should not be discounted, because there they still have many followers of McCain and Bolton, so there is someone to press the red button of a nuclear apocalypse on our land.

      I think you are right about the use of nuclear weapons as such. And it is the Americans who, it seems to me, have recently been actively looking for an excuse for such an "experiment" in order to intimidate the whole world and preserve their own "hegemony." And just short-range missiles are very suitable for this ..
      As for the possibility of a conflict between the nuclear "superpowers", here, most likely, it is a technological failure that counts. Especially at a time when by the universal "digitalization" of everything and everyone we are more and more actions, and the team and responsibility for them, in fact, are shifting to machines, to the so-called artificial intelligence, weapons, not excluding. Moreover, this failure can be either accidental or deliberate, as a result of a cyber attack, for example. Or systems can react just to such a "local" conflict of "non-superpowers" ...
      sadly shorter somehow everything ... belay
