The worlds other nuclear powers are modernizing their nuclear weapons capabilities and increasing reliance on nuclear weapons for their security. What are the implications of this global nuclear renewal around the world, for U.S. nuclear strategy forces and declaratory policy? While the size and composition of the U.S. nuclear arsenal is driven primarily by the nuclear and conventional might of Russia and agreements with Russia, the expansion of nuclear arsenals across the globe, coupled with a growing regional tension, suggests that there are other factors that should inform U.S. nuclear policy and strategy. The U.S. needs to know the nuclear capabilities and doctrine of the nuclear and potential nuclear powers in their regions, as well their rationale for acquiring nuclear weapons, the likelihood for a nuclear escalation, and implications for nuclear proliferation, which is real. Why is it important for the United States to manage nuclear stability, and how difficult might such a task might be? What might be the role of the United States during a regional crisis or conflict that could escalate to nuclear use? How should U.S. national security policy, nuclear force policy, and nuclear doctrine be changed and updated based on the changing landscape?
