with arms-control. but my fundamental question is this -- what steps need to be taken to maintain a level of bipartisan consensus on arms control and strategic modernization that is politically sustainable over the long term? most of these programs that we have talked about are going to ,o through this administration the next administration, andy -- and the administration beyond that. so you are going to have to have some type of consensus or agreement to sustain these programs over the long term. why don't we start with then endgo down, and with brian. view as toat is your tot steps need to be taken maintain a long-term, politically sustainable consensus? madelyn: certainly on the physical side, the triad. i think the numbers of each of the elements of the delivery systems, you know, needs a good robust debate every once in a while. the other thing is that the infrastructure funding for nnsa needs to continue, and the life extension programs need to continue. where i think there is going to be a lot of

, do away with arms control. but my fundmental question is this. what steps need to be taken to maintain a level oop of arms control and strategic modernization that is politically sustainable over the long term? most of these programs that we have talked about are going to go through this administration and the administration beyond that. so you are going to have to have some kind of consensus or agreement to sustain these long term. let's start with madeline and go down and then end with ryan. so madeline, what's your view as to what steps need to be taken to maintain a long-term politically sustainable consensus? >> well, certainly on the physical side, the triad. i think the numbers of each of the elements of the delivery systems, you know, need a good robust debate. the other thing is the infrastructure funding for nsa needs to continue and the life extension programs need to continue. where i think there is going to be a lot of debate comes in what is the capabilities size or the capacity size really of tha

we have to completely rethink what is arms cool -- what is arms control. bilateral, ande when we look at where asia is going, asia is far more complex. it clearly is where the future is, it is clearly on the rise economically. china has economic potential that russia doesn't in this moment. of the nine nuclear weapons states, almost all of them have some degree of influence in asia , and you cannot say that, i don't think, about any other region of the world. if you are going to have a commission look at anything, and i am not a huge fan of commissions, but if you are going to have a commission look at anything, i would probably looks need something that like a futures commission to really look at what are the options for strategic stability in the future, particularly in asia. this is a region that has no history of arms control agreements. you don't have anybody, even though china is building up and modernizing, certainly we are not in a situation of parity am a but we have lots of allies who really lie on our strategic deterrent and want to see our stra

arms are a big part of that. they are a big part of trade, settlers buy them, native a americans buy them. it is another one of those outlets they can have to sell their guns. lots of european countries are doing it. sometimes, an official will say, maybe we are not wise in selling firearms to certain native american nations. right? and then if we do not do it, they will buy be from the french and we will lose prestige, lose diplomatic edge, lose profit, we will not know what arms they are using, all kinds of other disadvantages will accrue. so in the end, they would always reason their way back into willingly selling arms to pretty much anyone in the 18th century. that changes in the 19th century. yeah, there is more concern about colonial subjects having firearms in the 19th century and there is more care to pass very racialized laws on gun ownership in many of the colonies. quakers and capitalism, yes, for sure. i mean, they are an instance of a network group that even though it is a minority group, a persecut

critics from this demonstration would argue that they have a hostile approach to arms-contr arms-control. late last year we saw a number of letters from senior republican and calling into question the effectiveness of the start. my question to you in addition to your views on the state of the debate, are there things that this administration and republicans in congress can do to reassure their critics that they are not hostile to arms-control? >> thank you, frank. thank you for organizing this event. i agree with you rebecca and think the rest of the panel that there is a bipartisan consensus or coalition if you want to turn that. supporting arms control and strategic modernization but it is a fragile one as people have pointed out. current debate there are three factors that people point to possible risks. to this consensus the trump administration as you point out democrats in house and russia we can't overlook that. i wanted to be the comment on those. first i don't think the trump and ministration is hostile to our control. this is clearly they are supportive of arms-control and give

in both from my arms and from my lips my dad had a look at me. and. he said my god you're not going to let this baby live. and they said yes my mom was only twenty one and she was advised by doctors to put me away and concentrate on having another family. after eleven days in hospital her parents took louise to an institution for handicapped children where she would spend the next eighteen years of her life but louise was fortunate her father had not asked another doctor to end her life because i'm questionable. midwives and doctors were killing disabled children. in the hospitals and the delivery rooms on a large scale in britain. in germany. and if they're probably everywhere else. in canada another armless baby was spared by a poor ukrainian family in a rural cisco. years later alvin law learned how horrified his natural parents were when he was born ultimately it was the perturb grandmother who didn't want to have anything to do with us she said you're not going to bring that devil baby home with you ease he's deformed because of a curse. the arm

that's an early 18th-century arm. the bulk of the arms are these, this is the standard military from about the 1720's to the 1830's. it's more or less the same thing and affectionately known as the brown vest. these are the kinds of objects we are talking about. it's actually a very tall weapon. how were these 18th-century guns used? i'm happy to talk about the sources we used to arrive at these conclusions. the first thing we found was guns were not used in crimes of passion the 18th century. most murders took place in situations of huge arguments were brawls. here is one of the 18th century cartoons. it is what you are likely to snatch up and use in your moment of rage. intimate.as used by rioters. they were used to put down riot, but not for themselves. guns are more readily available and youatter half, don't see any change in these two findings. i think there's some thing going on here that's cultural, and it's not whether or not guns are available. guns were being used in conflicts around property, both at home a

and it changes the nature of arms control because you went from arms control to arms reduction.rid of nuclear weapons. >> many american conservatives are afraid that mr. reagan is too anxious for an arms agreement to ensure his place in the history books as a peacemaker. >> well, i haven't changed from the time i made a speech about an evil empire, and i think i could sum up my own position on this with a recitation of a very brief russian proverb, "doveryai, no proveryai." it means trust but verify. ♪ ♪ >> the importance of this treaty transcends numbers. we have listened to the wisdom in an old russian maxim. doveryai, no proveryai. trust but verify. >> translator: you repeat that at every meeting. >> i like it. >> the improbability of either of them, reagan, the cold war hawk, gorbachev, the party guy, doing this kind of thing is just unheard of, and they did it. >> reagan had been in a low in 1987 with iran contra and many americans didn't like him. they didn't trust him. the negotiation with the soviet union in many ways saved his presidency. >> mr. gorbachev may not have s

you don't you know arms to be there you don't need arms to listen you don't need arms to be a father at all unfortunately too many fathers that have arms don't realize that. they were forget that that's true you just have to be there for him. and. that surprised me. the tears i don't i'm not sad i'm just. he's big he was a little that. i miss that little boy sometimes but that's not how life works right now is a normal regular person he's got the same regular personalities nothing really wrong about it and you just have to step in knowing you can't just judging by the way he looks what he brings and what he gives is much more so than anything i could bring you know he he gives great you know fatherly advice he's a great role model is a great person. and that's all you can ask. louise mason had been a single mother for ten years when she received a christmas card from an old boyfriend i've heard louis being very well in the. do a christmas card and calm down a federal loan i think the spark reignited is the best way to describe it. he kissed me goodbye and butterflies were. i was floa

the armed forces it costs. us it it although there are public displays of or of support ok but internally there are also all grumblings and that is for example why the the decision on the of on this bunkum or a police force was reconsidered because it came mainly from pressure from within the security establishment regarding the the possibility of such a of of us such a force being used for other purposes only so again they said although there is no real evidence on or on that force becoming that but there are suspicions and mistrust distrust issues because you did say that has been. not just a fifty year old war it's been ongoing even in the spanish colonial period in american culture that period this is just the latest manifestation of all of it so distrust has. existed ok generation to generation or more of course members of the military and i just am the last minute that we have how optimistic are you that can continue on this path to peace. pragmatically optimistic knowing that there are many challenges ah

said it is to withdraw from a key cold war era arms control agreement with russia at the beginning of next month it comes after american and russian officials met in geneva for talks in the u.s. concluded that moscow is in breach of the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty a position long held by washington. to determine a they believe it we're going to spend some porn to the russians and they're not going to see the treaty they've been violating here for many years and it is russia's position that they're not buying place russia has dispatched been developing the stabilizing weapon systems for more than a decade so one has to ask how do you convince the russians to back. for that we gave i don't think. that a lot of these facts the united states today to close it has found russia in material breach of the treaty. would not to let them violate the nuclear agreement . it was. not allowed to it was. not allowed to say he's invited us inspectors to examine the missiles which washington claims violate the treaty but to no avail russia's deputy foreign minister claimed on wednesday tha
