Cuba and nuclear tensions: One misjudgment leads to disaster
Geopolitics, national security and military technologies and strategy intertwine in the research interests of Brad Allenby, a professor in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment, part of the Fulton Schools, and a former associate director of energy and environmental systems at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories. In this recent article (written in the Bosnian language), Allenby, whose expertise includes the geopolitical implications of emerging technologies, assesses Russia’s current nuclear posturing in response to NATO’s support of Ukraine, especially given China’s increasing influence over Russia, and the systemic integration of artificial intelligence technology into nuclear systems. He concludes that fundamental shifts in nuclear weapons strategies may well be coming, but there is no need for alarm at present.
