Disarming Amid an Arms Race
In a recent issue of the U.S. Naval Institute’s
Proceedings, our military’s senior commander for nuclear forces, U.S. Navy Admiral Charles “Chas” Richards, wrote, “[m]ore than a decade ago, Russia began aggressively modernizing its nuclear forces … Russia is building new and novel systems, such as hypersonic glide vehicles, nuclear-armed and nuclear-powered torpedoes and cruise missiles, and other capabilities.” China, too is in the midst of a significant nuclear build-up behind what has been called a “Great Wall of Secrecy.” And yet, some argue that the U.S. should abandon the bipartisan Obama-Trump consensus to modernize the nuclear deterrent that protects the American people and over 30 allies.

Quote of the week:
“Until we, as a department, come to understand, if not accept, what we are facing and what should be done about it, we run the risk of developing plans we cannot execute and procuring capabilities that will not deliver desired outcomes. In the absence of change, we are on the path, once again, to prepare for the conflict we prefer, instead of one we are likely to face. It is through this lens that we must take a hard look at how we intend to compete against and deter our adversaries, assure our allies, and appropriately shape the future joint force.” – Admiral Charles Richard
