Secret U.S. weapons and private policy shifts will only make adversaries more paranoid and prompt a full-on arms race.
“Every man, woman and child lives under a nuclear sword of Damocles, hanging by the slenderest of threads, capable of being cut at any moment by accident or miscalculation or by madness,” the American president told the world, friend and foe alike.
Instead, Biden has apparently given classified instructions to the Pentagon to prepare for a new approach, based on deterring — that is, being able and determined to retaliate against — a concerted nuclear attack by Russia, China and North Korea. That policy shift occurred this spring, before he passed the baton in the presidential race to Harris.
This frightening scenario has some American policymakers arguing that the United States needs to enter and win a new arms race, with warheads and launch technologies that will in sum always match or exceed not only the arsenal of America’s only nuclear peer, Russia, but the combined forces of those four horsemen of the atomic apocalypse.
