3. AMERICA - Nuclear Deterrence and Modernization Challenges - PETER HUESSY 092326

from The John Batchelor Show Hosted by The John Batchelor Show

1945 THE HIROSHIMA ATOMIC BOMB Nuclear Deterrence and Modernization Challenges Peter Huessy reflects on Cold War nuclear civil defense drills and examines modern nuclear strategy. He outlines the history of arms control, explaining that the US exited the 1972 ABM Treaty in 2002 to deploy ballistic missile defenses against emerging threats like North Korea. Huessy emphasizes the urgent necessity of modernizing America's aging nuclear triad—comprising 55-year-old Minuteman III missiles, 40-year-old submarines, and 70-year-old B-52 bombers—to maintain effective deterrence against Russia's vast tactical nuclear arsenal.
