161 - January News Round Up: Nuclear Strategy and the Doomsday Clock

In this January 2026 News Round Up, Jim and Curtis break down several news articles affecting U.S. deterrence. This month was the Trump administration’s National Defense Strategy, and why the Doomsday Clock continues to draw closer to midnight. They discuss Congressional engagement on the looming New START expiration and the need for modernized arms control approaches. They emphasize first principles for any viable agreement and review articles on demands for industrial strength, resilient supply chains, clear strategic thinking, and policies that keep pace with emerging threats.https://thebulletin.org/doomsday-clock/2025-statement/ https://www.executivegov.com/articles/dow-2026-national-defense-strategyGet Involved with more NIDS Services: https://thinkdeterrence.com/Deterrence Education at NIDS https://thinkdeterrence.com/deterrence-education/Listen to our Podcasts NIDS Podcast Network - National Institute for Deterrence StudiesLike and follow us –The NIDS View: https://media.rss.com/nuclearview/feed.xmlLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/thinkdeterrenceX.com: https://x.com/thinkdeterrenceYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyGa4dcPqONWzjmbuZMOBHQRumble: https://rumble.com/user/NIDSthinkdeterrenceGlobal Security Review: https://globalsecurityreview.comOur Free Events: https://thinkdeterrence.com/events/
