Nuclear Risk Reduction Centers: A Stable Channel in Unstable Times

Whatever the future possibilities, the Nuclear Risk Reduction Centers have fulfilled a good deal of the promise for which they were established in the 1980s. The question for today is, how can we get them to do more to lower nuclear risks?

    For Putin, Increasing Russia’s Nuclear Threat Matters More Than the Triad’s Modernization

    For Putin, upgrading Russia’s nuclear forces was a secondary goal. The main aim was to gain an advantage over the West, including by strengthening the nuclear threat on all fronts. That made growth in missile arsenals and a new arms race inevitable.

    Russia’s Latest Weapons Have Left Strategic Stability on the Brink of Collapse

    The Kremlin will only be prepared to negotiate strategic arms limitations if it is confident it can secure significant concessions from the United States. Otherwise, meaningful dialogue is unlikely, and the international system of strategic stability will continue to teeter on the brink of total collapse.
