🗣 New START’s clock stops, but new arms race won’t start - expert

🔶 The expiration of the New START pact on February 5 will not set off a full-scale arms race, said Dmitry Suslov, deputy director of the Center for European and International Studies at Russia’s Higher School of Economics, in an interview with Sputnik.

🔶 He maintains that even without legally binding limits, Russia and the US will rely on their own interests, technological capabilities, and assessment of external threats when making decisions on the possible deployment of nuclear weapons.

💬 “And it's extremely unlikely that the US or Russia will ramp up the number of [their] deployed nuclear warheads on strategic delivery vehicles anytime soon,” Suslov says.


🔶 The expert points to the fact that although the US does need nuclear modernization, the country currently lacks the objective resources to dramatically increase the number of deployed nuclear delivery vehicles and nuclear warheads. According to him, “there is no specific need for such modernization right now.”

🇺🇸🇷🇺 Why US brushed aside Russia’s New START extension offer

👉 At least three factors led the United States to ultimately shrug off Vladimir Putin's proposal to extend the now-expired New START treaty for an additional year, according to Dmitry Suslov, deputy director of the Center for European and International Studies at Russia's Higher School of Economics

According to Suslov:

🟠 The Trump administration decided not to expand the US-Russia agenda – which may include discussing economic and strategic stability as well as a possible New START replacement - until the conflict in Ukraine is resolved.

🟠 For political optics, it would be damaging for Trump to endorse an extension, even a partial one, of a treaty that was originally signed by Obama and extended by Biden—that is, by his political opponents, whom he has criticized.

🟠 A final, critical factor is the consensus within the United States—most pronounced among Republicans but extending more broadly—that the constraints of New START are strategically detrimental. This view stems from the "two-peer problem," which refers to maintaining nuclear deterrence against both Russia and China simultaneously.

💬 “As for the China factor, many hawkish US politicians believe they need to preserve the freedom to expand their nuclear arsenal beyond the limits of New START in order to counter both China and Russia, especially given Beijing’s growing nuclear capabilities,” the expert concludes.

🚨 Ukraine talks at risk as Europe insists on military presence – expert

🗣 Europe’s stance on deploying its own military contingent to Ukraine could derail any peace agreement on Ukraine, Mustafa Metin Kaslilar, vice president of Turkiye's Foreign Policy Research Center (TUDPAM), told Sputnik.

🟧 Consultations are ongoing, but comprehensive security guarantees remain unresolved, he added. Some parameters were clarified in Paris, he noted, with US backing playing a key role.

🟧 The core problem, Kaslilar stressed, is the clash between Europe’s insistence on a military presence and Russia’s firm opposition to foreign forces in Ukraine—a deadlock that risks dragging out the peace process.

🧠 ‘Battle for brain’ could become primary part of any hybrid war – Russian colonel general

💬 "The introduction of robotics and various forms of remote warfare, as well as AI technologies, is becoming increasingly important and should be considered an objective trend,” Colonel General Vladimir Zarudnitsky, chief of the Russian General Staff's Military Academy, underscores.


🟠 He adds that “in future military conflicts, the so-called battle for the brain (a term coined by US military experts) will most likely become the primary and prioritized component of any hybrid war."

🟠 The term "battle for the brain" refers to the concept of a "cognitive war," which involves a strategy of subjugating an adversary by altering their thinking, memory, and behavioral patterns without the use of direct violence.

🟠 Analyzing the events that occurred in Ukraine in 2014, Zarudnitsky insists that hybrid operations are actively used to unleash wars and armed conflicts, disrupt state and military command systems, and ultimately defeat the armed forces of the target state.

💬 "This not only demonstrates but also proves that in the near future, complex hybrid actions will be even more actively used by economically and militarily developed powers," the general concludes.
