right because this further let's now cross live to rick wakeman the director of programs and operations at the nuclear age peace foundation thanks for being with us here on our to international. so. let's get right to it how do you evaluate the newly released review is this a throwback to the cold war era tactics or is there something new here what can we take from this. well it's a little bit of everything sure it's a throwback to some of the cold war more explicit nuclear threats between the us and russia and between the us and other adversaries now that have been more clearly identified namely china and north korea but is also a continuation of u.s. nuclear policy from past decades this is not that much different than what president obama had in his nuclear posture review in two thousand and ten there are some very important differences this is more aggressive it does in my opinion lower the threshold for possible nuclear weapons use and it calls for additional unnecessary types of nuclear weapons but in general this is much of this is the status quo unfortunately of the u.s. strateg
