Details
Dr. Hanna Notte and Dr. Chen Kane will join RSI to discuss their research on Russian-Turkish Relations and Implications for US Strategy and Operations. The DTRA-funded project, conducted by the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS), analyzed the Russia-Turkey relationship and its impact on U.S. and NATO interests in the USEUCOM, USCENTCOM, and USAFRICOM areas of responsibility.
Building on an analysis of Russian and Turkish mutual interests, vulnerabilities, red lines, and leverages in these theatres, the project assessed likely Turkish courses of action across AORs going forward, assuming three scenarios in Russia's war against Ukraine: (1) a war of attrition; (2) Russia retreating; and (3) Russia consolidating (occupying Ukraine's Black Sea access). The study derived implications for U.S. interests from each scenario and developed recommendations for the Warfighter, DoD, and DTRA.
