Dr. Michaela Dodge: The US needs to issue nuclear challenges to our adversaries

During the Cold War, the US issued nuclear challenges to the Soviet Union in order to keep their attention and spending away from other pressing issues – why aren’t we still doing this today?

DR. MICHAELA DODGE, Research Scholar, Nation Institute for Public Policy, formerly worked at the Heritage Foundation from 2010-2019, former Senior Defense Policy Advisor, US Senator Jon Kyl:

Part I:

  • ICBMs bring something to the US nuclear triad that the other two legs, submarines and bombers, do not
  • Why are Minuteman missiles, which were deemed obsolete in the 1980s, are still in use?
  • During the Cold War, the US issued nuclear challenges to the Soviet Union in order to keep their attention and spending away from other pressing issues – why aren’t we still doing this today?

Part II:

  • Michaela Dodge: When we renew a nuclear warhead, we move its age to zero. Are we still using nuclear weapons from the 1960s?
  • The US government needs to possibly consider conducting yield tests on our aging nuclear arsenal
  • Missile defense will continue to be a mounting issue moving forward
