Anticipating flashpoints with Russia: patterns and drivers
Even before Russia's February 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russia had many ongoing and potential disputes with other countries, motivated by a variety of territorial, political, and economic issues. Furthermore, as Moscow has sought to expand its international role, it has increased Rus...

Zusammenfassung: | Even before Russia's February 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russia had many ongoing and potential disputes with other countries, motivated by a variety of territorial, political, and economic issues. Furthermore, as Moscow has sought to expand its international role, it has increased Russian involvement in civil conflicts, using both overt and covert means. Russian activity in Syria and Libya has raised the prospect that the United States might find itself militarily entangled with Russia in various global hotspots. Therefore, the authors of this report sought to identify possible Russian flashpoints with countries in and near the U.S. Army Europe area of responsibility that could entangle the United States and present distinct military challenges to the U.S. Army. Using quantitative and qualitative methods to analyze historical data on Russian disputes and conflicts, the authors identified the key drivers of such flashpoints. They then leveraged these findings to derive planning implications for the United States and the U.S. Army in particular. The authors also examined two additional potential drivers of conflict not captured in historical data--Russia's use of private military contractors and its operations in the information environment--to see whether either might lead to a flashpoint in the future |

Furthermore, as Moscow has sought to expand its international role, it has increased Russian involvement in civil conflicts, using both overt and covert means. Russian activity in Syria and Libya has raised the prospect that the United States might find itself militarily entangled with Russia in various global hotspots. Therefore, the authors of this report sought to identify possible Russian flashpoints with countries in and near the U.S. Army Europe area of responsibility that could entangle the United States and present distinct military challenges to the U.S. Army. Using quantitative and qualitative methods to analyze historical data on Russian disputes and conflicts, the authors identified the key drivers of such flashpoints. They then leveraged these findings to derive planning implications for the United States and the U.S. Army in particular. The authors also examined two additional potential drivers of conflict not captured in historical data--Russia's use of private military contractors and its operations in the information environment--to see whether either might lead to a flashpoint in the future Geschichte 1992-2019 gnd rswk-swf Bewaffneter Konflikt (DE-588)4137568-3 gnd rswk-swf Russland (DE-588)4076899-5 gnd rswk-swf Ukraine Conflict, 2014- South Ossetia War, 2008 Abkhazia (Georgia) / History / Uprising, 1992-1993 Syria / History / Civil War, 2011- Russia (Federation) / Military policy / Case studies Ukraine / Foreign relations / Russia (Federation) Russia (Federation) / Foreign relations / Ukraine Georgia (Republic) / Foreign relations / Russia (Federation) Russia (Federation) / Foreign relations / Georgia (Republic) Tajikistan / Foreign relations / Russia (Federation) Russia (Federation) / Foreign relations / Tajikistan Syria / Foreign relations / Russia (Federation) Russia (Federation) / Foreign relations / Syria Cyber Warfare Geopolitical Strategic Competition Georgia (country) Low-Intensity Conflict Military Strategy Russia Syria Ukraine United States United States Army Russland (DE-588)4076899-5 g Bewaffneter Konflikt (DE-588)4137568-3 s Geschichte 1992-2019 z DE-604 Zeigler, Sean M.
