Mearsheimer Warns Hawks Misjudge Nuclear Escalation
Original: Hawks Only Pretend to Know How Nuclear Escalation Unfolds / John Mearsheimer
Political scientist John Mearsheimer argues that supporters of aggressive policies toward nuclear-armed rivals have no real understanding of how a nuclear escalation would unfold, and only pretend otherwise. He contends that confident talk about managing escalation is reckless, since no one can predict how a confrontation between major nuclear powers would spiral. The remarks have drawn wide attention amid ongoing debates over Western policy toward Russia.
Why now: Ongoing debate over Ukraine and Western support keeps warnings about nuclear escalation risks in the spotlight.
