Soviet Mine Barrier Warfare Capabilities In A Central Nuclear War, James Preston Layton Ii Jun 2018

Soviet Mine Barrier Warfare Capabilities In A Central Nuclear War, James Preston Layton Ii

Naval War College Review

This paper notes that the Soviets have an extensive mining capability, that the use of that capability is logically consistent with Soviet notions of war, and that the United States seems little prepared to counter such a use.

Under Strain: A Robust Russian Foreign Posture Despite Limitations, Chiara Sutton May 2018

Under Strain: A Robust Russian Foreign Posture Despite Limitations, Chiara Sutton

Undergraduate Honors Theses

The geopolitical maneuverability held by the Russian Federation has been considered to be intrinsically connected to the prices of hydrocarbons, as roughly half of the government’s budget derives from hydrocarbon revenues. The year 2008, with oil prices flitting above $150 per barrel, was a particular boon for the Kremlin and its international significance- incidentally, 2008 also oversaw the Russo-Georgian war and the start of that now-frozen conflict. In the quite different current climate, as hydrocarbon prices stay remarkably collapsed for the third year, the Kremlin’s revenue problems are compounded by international sanctions and a level of international mistrust still rippling …

Stalin’S Big-Fleet Program, Milan L. Hauner Apr 2018

Stalin’S Big-Fleet Program, Milan L. Hauner

Naval War College Review

In the 1930s, Joseph Stalin undertook to build one of the world’s largest navies, a Soviet fleet of battleships and battle cruisers. He did so in the face of well known impediments and shortfalls of geography, finances, and industrial capacity and capability—and in the absence of an obvious and compelling strategic rationale. Why?


A Tale Of Two Fleets—A Russian Perspective On The 1973 Naval Standoff In The Mediterranean, Lyle J. Goldstein, Yuri M. Zhukov Apr 2018

A Tale Of Two Fleets—A Russian Perspective On The 1973 Naval Standoff In The Mediterranean, Lyle J. Goldstein, Yuri M. Zhukov

Naval War College Review

Newly available Russian sources suggest that the superpower naval confrontation during and immediately after the 1973 Arab-Israeli War was more dangerous than has been generally appreciated, and that the Soviet Navy had made remarkable progress in correcting the deficiencies revealed in the Cuban missile crisis only a decade before. The episode is a cautionary case study for the U.S. Navy, which today has another “upstart” navy to consider.


Defining A Class Of Cyber Weapons As Wmd: An Examination Of The Merits, Benjamin B. Hatch Apr 2018

Defining A Class Of Cyber Weapons As Wmd: An Examination Of The Merits, Benjamin B. Hatch

Journal of Strategic Security

This article examines the merits of defining a class of offensive destructive cyber weapons as weapons of mass destruction (WMD). It analyzes the growing danger of destructive cyber weapons in the future joint operating environment and the devastating effects they may have in the physical domain. Further, it outlines evidence that specifically coded, offensive destructive cyber weapons would meet the spirit and intent of the three academic conditions for categorization as WMD. It argues the merits of categorizing a class of destructive cyber weapons as WMD, and addresses important factors required to examine advantages afforded to policy makers. Towards this …


“Sea Of Peace” Or Sea Of War—Russian Maritime Hybrid Warfare In The Baltic Sea, Martin Murphy, Gary Schaub Jr. Mar 2018

“Sea Of Peace” Or Sea Of War—Russian Maritime Hybrid Warfare In The Baltic Sea, Martin Murphy, Gary Schaub Jr.

Naval War College Review

Russian destabilization efforts aimed at the Baltic States are most likely to come from the Baltic Sea; be maritime, nonlethal, and nonnaval; and use political, diplomatic, informational, psychological, and economic tools, and perhaps paramilitary forces.


The Next Geographical Pivot, Caitlyn L. Antrim Mar 2018

The Next Geographical Pivot, Caitlyn L. Antrim

Naval War College Review

In the summer of 2007, when the Russian fl ag was placed on the ocean fl oor at the North Pole and the Arctic ice cover receded to the lowest extent ever recorded, the media sought story lines that would grab the public’s attention. Titles and headlines such as “Arctic Meltdown,” “A New Cold War,” and “Arctic Land Grab,” focusing on Russian activities in the Arctic, all fed a sense of competition, conflict, and crisis.

Ukraine At The Crossroad In Post-Communist Europe: Policymaking And The Role Of Foreign Actors, Ryan Barrett Jan 2018

Ukraine At The Crossroad In Post-Communist Europe: Policymaking And The Role Of Foreign Actors, Ryan Barrett

Dissertations

As the mounting protests from Maidan Square in Kyiv led to the resignation of President Viktor Yanukovich, Ukrainians found themselves at an unavoidable fork in the road in their history. For years the country had become a new frontier of Western influence, forcing a decision between tightening economic and cultural ties with Western countries or with Russia. The basic question many Ukrainians now faced included choosing between their Soviet past or a potential liberal democratic future. Furthermore, the Russian takeover of Crimea became the first major invasion of a European country since 1968. This military maneuver stunned the international community …
