The crazy logic of nuclear deterrence
October 13, 2020
The Soviet Union has come and gone, but the crazy logic of nuclear deterrence lives on.
The threat of nuclear weapons is the ultimate threat, but it is a threat only a madman would carry out.
So for the threat to be convincing. you have to convince your opponent you are a madman.
The best way to convince your opponent you are a madman is to actually be a madman/
The second best way is to act so much like a madman that nobody can be sure whether you are or not.
Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un come to mind in this respect.
The risk is that your act is too successful, and your opponent thinks he has no choice but to strike first.
We’re lucky. Over nearly 70 years, this has not happened. But it only has to happen once.
