Nuclear Weapons: The Pride of Pakistan
Pakistan faces both nuclear security and deterrence stability challenges.
Source: KCRW’s To the Point
Speaking on KCRW’s To the Point, Carnegie’s Toby Dalton discussed challenges to nuclear security and deterrence stability in Pakistan. Pakistan’s development of tactical nuclear weapons leaves it more vulnerable to the possibility of theft or unathorized launch, he said. In addition, the fact that Pakistan and India view nuclear weapons very differently and have no ongoing dialogue about these issues means that the risk of miscalculation remains high.
This interview was originally broadcast by KCRW’s To the Point.

- Europe on Iran: Gone with the WindCommentary
Europe’s reaction to the war in Iran has been disunited and meek, a far cry from its previously leading role in diplomacy with Tehran. To avoid being condemned to the sidelines while escalation continues, Brussels needs to stand up for international law.
