The Chinese Nuclear Arsenal: More DoD Nuclear Threat Minimization
The Biden Administration came into power intending to reduce U.S. nuclear weapons and, despite Russian aggression against Ukraine, some reductions were announced in the 2022 Nuclear Posture Review. Because of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the reductions were largely vetoed by Congress but nothing positive was done to enhance the inadequate U.S. nuclear modernization program while the U.S. nuclear deterrent continued to age.

Russia’s new nuclear doctrine gives us more insight into Russia’s planning, which is threatening and dangerous.

Has World War III Begun?
But a world war is approaching.
