However, Russia and others remain skeptical of the new US-led world order. US' civilian and military systems remain vulnerable to EMP nearly two decades later due to Washington's continued faith in MAD. Nevertheless, other funding priorities took precedence. Even non-state and rogue state actors could defeat the US with only a small number of EMP weapons. Experts contended that an EMP would cause nationwide electrical grid anomalies, cascading systems failures, and ultimately unravel the fabric of American society. Sensing strategic neglect, in 2004 Congress became concerned for the unique threat posed by nuclear weapons-generated high altitude electromagnetic pulse (EMP). Instead, the US appointed itself the task of world policeman, enforcing its foreign policy ideals with conventional general purpose and special operations expeditionary forces. Funds were diverted from strategic capabilities as the probability of nuclear war seemed negligible.

However, even after Russia was lectured by the US, Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, emphasized that Russia is not bluffing.

Under an umbrella of US MAD deterrence, Ukraine assumes it can now crush Russian aims with modern US conventional weapons and take back what it claims to be its own. MAD contributed to its Cold War victory, and it is assumed to still be effective today. The US retains faith in the doctrine of mutual assured destruction(MAD). The US dismissed the warning as a bluff and threatened Russia by stating the use of such weapons would be met with unspecified "devastating" consequences. Russian President Vladimir Putin has suggested that Russia is prepared to employ nuclear weapons in defense of its sovereignty.
