🤩PONI IS HIRING🤩 We are hiring for two roles to join the exciting @csisponi @csis_isp @CSIS team and work across our programs and growing research on deterrence and arms control. (1/)

[Mr winner @Mr_Winner___]

@drfarls Only if you define arms control as "legally binding treaties that limit or reduce nuclear weapons." If you define arms control as "managing nuclear competition and reducing the risk of nuclear war" then there are a lot of mechanisms, formal and informal, that can persist. (1/2)

I had the privilege of presenting my independent research at the NATO Defense College in Rome today as part of their Early Career Nuclear Strategists Workshop. What an awesome experience. Huge thank you to the @NATO_DefCollege for bringing this group together.

Harris announces that the United States will not conduct destructive, direct-ascent anti-satellite weapon testing. "Simply put, these tests are dangerous and we will not conduct them. We are the first nation to make such a commitment."
