Preparing for a Post-Armed Conflict Strategic Environment

Abstract

In this essay, I review alternative outcomes of the armed conflict, consider Russia's military capability profile in a post-armed conflict environment, and posit alternative cyber security futures based on Russian motivation(s) and capabilities. I then address three policy questions: Is the current objective of weakening only Russia's conventional force generation functions prudent? How can NATO optimize its member states aggregate cyber capabilities and capacities to prepare for these cyber futures? And, might recent shifts and tilts to China distract from such preparations?
