JAN 29th, Talk at SIPA: Overkill: The Case for Reevaluating U.S. Nuclear Strategy

Abstract: The United States has far more nuclear weapons and delivery systems than deterrence requires. The triad of intercontinental ballistic missiles, submarine-launched ballistic missiles and bomber aircraft reflects bureaucratic Cold War planning, not strategic vision. Can the United States achieve an effective nuclear program which makes us safer, while adapting to the need for a smaller defense budget? Join us as Christopher Preble, the Vice President of Defense and Foreign Policy Studies at the Cato Institute, and Ben Friedman, Research Fellow in Defense and Homeland Security Studies at the Cato Institute, discuss U.S. nuclear strategy, and the need to bring it into the 21st century.
