Political Insanity and the Nuclear Posture Review: Washington Threatens America and the World

By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, February 08, 2018

During the long decades of the Cold War, no US government would have released a nuclear posture review that legitimized the first use of nuclear weapons against any opponent. The US did have some crazed generals, such as Lemnitzer and Curtis LeMay who were Dr. Strangelove figures, and there was a James Bond movie about an equally crazed, but fictional, Soviet general.

The Fear Driving US Nuclear Strategy

By Robert J. Burrowes, February 08, 2018

But it’s still extremely dangerous for the entire world, as will be fully explained here.

Pentagon to Allow Nuclear Response to Non-Nuclear Attacks

By Prof. Marjorie Cohn, February 08, 2018

For the first time, the new NPR states that the United States could use nuclear weapons in response to non-nuclear attacks, including cyberattacks, in “extreme circumstances to defend the vital interests of the United States, its allies and partners.” This new strategy opens the door to first-use of nuclear weapons, which is prohibited under international law.
