Zero Hedge: Why An American And A Russian General Are Suddenly Very Worried About Nuclear War
Over the past several years, there has been an alarming escalation of two very disturbing trends: an increasing preponderance of cyberattacks on complex infrastructure (whether domestic or abroad and whether instigated by external sources or internally, in a false falg attempt to evolve the issue to the benefit of various military-industrial complex benficiaries) as well as around the globe, and a largely unexpected return to a Cold War footing, one catalyzed by the violent US-sponsored overthrow of the former Kiev government and the eagerness to escalate the resultant conflict exhibited by the Kremlin.
If one extends said trends, one would arrive at a very unpleasant conclusion: due to the porous nature of modern technology and the increasing prevalence of cyberattacks, coupled with Cold War-era nuclear doctrines and rising tensions between the two superpowers who are now back to a Cold War regime, a nuclear war has suddenly emerged yet again as a very real threat.
WNU Editor: They are correct in their assessment in that it is all about trends, and current doctrine will not be able to prevent future conflicts as technology and warfare changes.

I think the most telling fact in this article is that the Russians have not emphasized the restoration of their Early Warning system. This is both good and bad.
They obviously don't think that there is a high probability of a Bolt-From-The-Blue attack, despite the danger this could expose them to.
It's bad because they could potentially over-react to limited information, just like they did during the Black Branch incident.
