Episode 87: Is A New Nuclear Arms Race Inevitable?

By: Peter L. Bergen
Narrated by: Peter L. Bergen
  • Summary

  • Very quietly, and with little public discussion, the U.S. military has undertaken a $1.5 trillion project to modernize America’s nuclear triad – the planes, submarines and missiles that deliver nuclear weapons. It’s one of the biggest and most expensive projects in American military history – more costly, even, than the Manhattan Project. But how necessary is this modernization effort? And what message does it send to our nuclear adversaries?
