For now, Russia will play its cards cautiously & observe how the situation plays out - understanding that it has ltd. leverage over the course of events And try to be involved in whatever comes next, while avoiding entanglement/overextension Ukraine remains the priority /END

My review of this brilliant new book "Death Dust: The Rise, Decline, and Future of Radiological Weapons Programs" has been published by International Affairs @IAJournal_CH My deepest appreciation to the authors, William Potter @PotterCNS, Sarah Bidgood @sbidgood, Samuel Meyer @SamAbuJorj and Hanna Notte @HannaNotte for their significant contribution on the subject. Folks, get the book and read it! "Death Dust" offers a meticulous and insightful exploration into the radiological weapons programs of key global powers, including Egypt, Iraq, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The authors, William Potter, Sarah Bidgood, Samuel Meyer, and Hanna Notte, delve into the complexities and strategic calculations behind the decision-making processes that led these countries to initially invest in, yet ultimately refrain from deploying radiological weapons. The book effectively addresses a crucial question in international security: despite significant investments in the development and testing of these weapons, why did these states decide against their deployment? This detailed inquiry not only enhances our understanding of the specific dynamics of radiological weapons but also adds depth to the broader discourse on military ethics and security policies. academic.oup.com/ia/article-abs…
