Expand the nuclear arsenal to deter Russia and China at once
What the document says“Expand and modernize the U.S. nuclear force so that it has the size, sophistication, and tailoring to deter Russia and China simultaneously.”
The chapter states that Russia maintains and brandishes a large nuclear arsenal while China is undertaking what it calls a historic nuclear breakout, and asks for an arsenal sized and tailored to deter both at once, including new capabilities at the theatre level, so that there is no circumstance in which America is exposed to serious nuclear coercion.
What the document actually says“Expand and modernize the U.S. nuclear force so that it has the size, sophistication, and tailoring to deter Russia and China simultaneously.”
Grow the nuclear force. Make it big enough to hold off Russia and China at the same time.
The United States keeps nuclear weapons to stop attacks. The book says Russia has many and China is building more. It says America needs more of them too.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
