RAND Study Warns Europe's Conventional Gaps Could Trigger Nuclear Escalation
Original: Recent RAND Study: Europe’s Conventional Shortfalls Could Drive Nuclear Escalation
A recent RAND Corporation study argues that Europe's shortfalls in conventional military capability could push a conflict toward nuclear escalation. The finding suggests that if European forces cannot deter or repel a major conventional attack on their own, leaders might face pressure to rely on nuclear threats sooner. It lands amid ongoing debates over European defence spending and support for Ukraine.
Why now: Concerns about European defence readiness and nuclear risk are high amid the war in Ukraine and debates over military spending.
