RAND Study Warns Europe’s Conventional Gaps Could Fuel Nuclear Escalation
Original: Recent RAND Study: Europe’s Conventional Shortfalls Could Drive Nuclear Escalation
A new RAND Corporation study argues that Europe’s shortfalls in conventional military capabilities could push a conflict with Russia toward nuclear escalation. The finding suggests that if European NATO members cannot deter or repel aggression with conventional forces alone, nuclear weapons might be invoked earlier in a crisis. The study lands amid ongoing debates over European defence spending, stockpiles and reliance on US nuclear guarantees.
Why now: Concerns about European defence readiness and nuclear deterrence are high as the war in Ukraine continues and NATO debates rearmament.
