Assessments of the danger of war are crucial for military planning ("threat assessment"). When publicly expressed, they are also important devices for justifying the imposition of heavy economic burdens on society, as well as for intimidating foreign states. The distinct objectives served by statements on the likelihood of war often have given rise in Soviet politics to a divergence between the leaders' real assessment and the one proclaimed publicly. This essay is concerned chiefly with distinguishing between Soviet manipulation of the war danger and the leaders' real fears and intentions regarding the outbreak of war. For this purpose, certain distinctions are important: between imminent war and war that is inevitable (or probable) some years in the future; between war limited to the capitalist states and war involving the USSR; and between war imposed on the Soviet leaders and war chosen by them. Part One provides a brief historical survey, Part Two, a case study of the ascendency of the war-danger theme after June 1980. |
