FUTURE NUCLEAR WAR? WELL.. THE TACTICS OF CIVILIZATIONS

—“Do you see a scenario where nuclear powers like the US, Russia or China engage in limited nuclear conflict with one another without it escalating to a total nuclear war?” — Lawrence Fernandes

Hmm…

I can see it in Pakistan and India, and I can certainly see it in Iran and Israel. I have a really hard time seeing it in China and America. Russians are a practical as we are. The only reason China would do that is if we invaded her ‘circle’. But I would expect china and Russia to evolve into overt use of it as a cover for immoral actions that violate western sensibilities (domestication of man).

BACKGROUND

Here is how each civilization works:

OPPORTUNISM

Russians seize shit when they can move quickly to seize opportunity without much of a fight. Why? they fight like hell but they fight poorly because of low trust. Russians just outright lie about morality because they can’t conceive of it the way we do.

DELAY AND DECEIVE AND DEPRIVE OF OPTIONS

Chinese do – always – what they have done in the south china sea: practice incrementalism under false pretense of morality.

EUROPEANS – HONESTY

Solve conflicts early and often before those with greater numbers can marshal the strength to seize the inevitable opportunity we will present them with.

Each civilization limits its risk based on its internal weaknesses, not those of its opponents. This is usually the problem with inter-civilizational warfare. We are at war with Islam for example but we, as Europeans, don’t even understand that such a form of war exists.

Because we have, since the 1600’s, prohibited each other from that kind of warfare.

We did not however succeed in getting the rest of the world to prohibit it.
