RAND Study Warns Europe's Conventional Gaps Could Push Nuclear Escalation
Original: Recent RAND Study: Europe’s Conventional Shortfalls Could Drive Nuclear Escalation
A new RAND study argues that shortfalls in Europe's conventional military capabilities could push NATO states toward earlier or broader reliance on nuclear threats in a conflict with Russia. The research suggests that if European forces cannot credibly respond to aggression without US support, escalation to the nuclear level becomes more likely. Defence analysts are weighing what this means for European rearmament plans and nuclear deterrence policy.
Why now: Fresh analysis feeding ongoing debate about European defence readiness and nuclear deterrence amid the war in Ukraine.
