@ArmsControlWonk @dex_eve @Link_Plumeria Yes. Although the introduction was optional. I guess I shoukd make it required…

@dex_eve Nuclear posture is the structure (what you have), deployment (where it is), and employment (what you intend to do with it) of nuclear forces.

[Dr. Amy J. Nelson @AmyJNelsonPhD]

The US nuclear arsenal should be modernized to align with US strategy. That strategy, however, should not be based on a doomsday scenario. My thoughts on the recent US Strategic Posture Commission Report 👇🏻

Warning: After I put the URL in my profile, it shortened it... and now glitches when I attempt to re-edit it, so you may only get one shot. Hence my munged profile name. Oh well. See you on the other side.

What is the disadvantage of nuclear superiority?

@abby_fanlo and I find nuclear superiority makes states *less* likely to accomplish their goals in crises against adversaries w/ vastly inferior arsenals.

Our new study is out now in @SecStudies_Jrnl! 🧵

@pkmacdonald Nothing like B school profs deciding to pick up a new topic without bothering to do a lit review first. Rest of the folks quoted in the article have a lot of depth, though.

@dex_eve It’s delicious. https://t.co/iAQXLVpAg5

@dex_eve Whatever else you may think of it, the movie is a very clever inversion of the book.

[Decker Eveleth @dex_eve]

Fear we're approaching a situation where limited stealth cruise attacks on C2 nodes will be an increasingly realistic campaign strategy and fear of that sort of attack occurring is going to drive a lot of the conversation around survivability over the next 20-30 years.

There’s a long and tragic history in nuclear weapons development & testing where language like “desolate” and “uninhabited” is used by those in power to describe land inhabited by people viewed as inferior/unimportant
