Tactical Nuclear Weapons: An Oxymoron or an Effective Element of Deterrence?

10/6/2017

The Defense One news site recently published both sides of the question regarding the utility or folly of low-yield nuclear weapons. The article author, Michael Krepon, made the case that tactical nuclear weapons were both unwise and strategically unsound.

The counterargument was offered by Albert Mauroni, the director of the U.S. Air Force Center for Unconventional Weapons Studies. Mauroni rejected as “strategically illiterate” the premise that any use of nuclear weapons must lead to
uncontrollable escalation.

Both arguments make for interesting reading, but in the final analysis, this article describing Russia's 2,000 tactical nuclear weapons reminds us that potential adversaries of the U.S. get a vote as well.
