Annie Jacobsen, an esteemed investigative journalist and author, recently joined Lex Fridman for a thought-provoking podcast episode that delves into the complexities of nuclear warfare. The discussion covers critical topics such as nuclear launch procedures, deterrence strategies, and the functions of tactical nuclear weapons. Jacobsen provides insights into the mechanics of nuclear submarines, missile systems, and the infamous "nuclear football," while also addressing pressing concerns like North Korea's nuclear threat and missile interception systems. Jacobsen further examines the psychological aspects of warfare, including the motivations of warmongers and the decision-making processes of political leaders during crises. The conversation touches on the geopolitical landscape, with a focus on Russia and potential cyber threats, as well as the stark realities of surviving a nuclear conflict, including the concept of nuclear winter. In addition to these serious topics, the episode also ventures into speculative territories, discussing UFOs, Area 51, and historical events involving the KGB and atomic weapons. Jacobsen concludes with reflections on war, human nature, and a glimmer of hope for the future. This episode offers a comprehensive look at the multifaceted nature of nuclear issues and their implications for global security. #NuclearWarfare #InvestigativeJournalism #NationalSecurity #PodcastDiscussion #Geopolitics ---------------------- Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/eMEqRuPG

I am very pleased to have contributed a chapter entitled "Dead or Deferred? Nuclear Arms Control in an Age of Revisionism" to a new book by the Center for Global Security Research at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. You can find it here: https://lnkd.in/e8CP26Je

Arms control will always be important and necessary. What we have learned is that arms control success is inextricably linked to our own nuclear capabilities. There is no “either-or”. The adversary must be strongly motivated to come to the negotiating table. All other motives, such as cost-savings, take a back seat to the fear of falling behind. The reason arms control is out of vogue is because the U.S. stockpile, both in capability and will, became stagnant and of little threat to Russia and China. Fortunately we are back on a track to have more and better nuclear weapon options in our quiver to force the adversaries to rethink their lack of arms control interest.

A monumental win for peace! Nihon Hidankyo, representing the survivors of Hiroshima & Nagasaki, has been awarded the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize. Their tireless work advocating for a nuclear-free world and sharing the harrowing stories of atomic bomb survivors has shaped global anti-nuclear efforts. As we approach the 80th anniversary of the bombings, this recognition is a reminder of the catastrophic impact of nuclear warfare—and the urgent need for global disarmament. Let’s amplify their message for a world without nuclear weapons!
