"This situation is exacerbated by the fear of cheating among the nuclear-armed countries, “If we disarm, others might not.” Hence any proactive action would leave some at some disadvantage vis-à-vis adversaries." globalsecurityreview.com/illogic-of-nuc…
"Road-mobile ICBMs could reduce the ballooning cost of new silos by creating a mixed force which includes mobile missile launchers and silo-based missiles." -- this force posture is already used by Russia and China and therefore is NOT destabilizing. breakingdefense.com/2025/09/forge-…
“Russia has never had and does not have any such intentions” of threatening European borders, Lavrov said on Saturday. -- Yet he conflates opposition to conquering Ukraine as a defacto NATO war with Russia. Lavrov's cognitive dissonance is an obstacle to peace.…
The potential for drones to enhance surveillance, improve targeting, and support second-strike capabilities makes them valuable assets in maintaining strategic stability. globalsecurityreview.com/the-role-of-dr…
"Mutually Assured Destruction" an article by Peter Huessy globalsecurityreview.com/mutually-assur…
There's a lot of discussion right now about Putin's offer to extend New START for 12 months. Not only should we not do it, but extending New START plays right into the hands of Moscow and Beijing... wapo.st/42s1Y2r
Putin asks USA to continue to abide by a nuclear arms treaty Russia suspended 2.5 yrs ago! This is clearly an attempt to constrain ONLY the US nuclear arsenal. apnews.com/article/russia…
moral relativism and the pursuit of national interests have gone hand-in-glove for centuries. However, interventionist tendencies can lead to unnecessary war. NATO's deterrence of Russia is paramount...but it can't be half-hearted, moralistic, or gentle. globalsecurityreview.com/trumps-path-to…
The Chinese DF-61 road-mobile ICBM appeared at Beijing's military parade, likely succeeding the DF-41 as part of China's nuclear buildup. -- America's new Sentinel ICBM, while running behind in the great power deterrence race, will draw attention. twz.com/nuclear/chinas…
It appears the Russian foreign ministry, which said the U.S. was exerting "blatant pressure" on Venezuela cannot differentiate counter-narcotic ops with Venezuelan gov't ops. Hmmmm 🤔🤔🤔 newsweek.com/russia-trump-v…
Hope is not a strategy! Nuke armed depots 1) will not give up perceived advantage; 2) cannot be trusted to abide by any agreement to do so. @POTUS must build up America's nuclear deterrent before it can be negotiated away--which would be folly! telegraph.co.uk/us/comment/202…
"U.S. Space Command — one of the Defense Department's 11 unified combatant commands — would be relocating from Peterson Space Force Base, Colorado, to the Army's Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama." defense.gov/News/News-Stor…
“Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, as you [Xi Jinping] conspire against The United States of America,” Mr. Trump said on Truth Social. -- indeed the goal is to replace the current rules-based international order. washingtontimes.com/news/2025/sep/…
In an unveiled threat to all democracies, Putin, Kim Jong-un & Xi Jinping watched nuclear missiles pass by including the new silo-based DF-31BJ, the DF-5C and a new DF-61 ICBM potentially able to carry megaton warheads w/ which to target American cities. washingtontimes.com/news/2025/sep/…
Russia’s cites Golden Dome and future NATO troops in Ukraine as ‘colossal threats,’ calls for major nuclear shield update. This might be an excuse for increasing the size of the Russian nuclear arsenal. washingtontimes.com/news/2025/aug/…
"A Euro hacker group obtained documents that reveal that China is working with Moscow to develop a Russian automated comm system for controlling airborne units for China’s PLA...to prepare PLA paratroopers for an attack on Taiwan." washingtontimes.com/news/2025/aug/…
