Summary
In this January 2026 News Round Up, Jim and Curtis break down several news articles affecting U.S. deterrence. This month was the Trump administration’s National Defense Strategy, and why the Doomsday Clock continues to draw closer to midnight. They discuss Congressional engagement on the looming New START expiration and the need for modernized arms control approaches. They emphasize first principles for any viable agreement and review articles on demands for industrial strength, resilient supply chains, clear strategic thinking, and policies that keep pace with emerging threats. https://thebulletin.org/doomsday-clock/2025-statement/ https://www.executivegov.com/articles/dow-2026-national-defense-strategy Get Involved with more NIDS Services: https://thinkdeterrence.com/ Deterrence Education at NIDS https://thinkdeterrence.com/deterrence-education/ Listen to our Podcasts NIDS Podcast Network - National Institute for Deterrence Studies Like and follow us – The NIDS View: https://media.rss.com/nuclearview/feed.xml LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/thinkdeterrence X.com : https://x.com/thinkdeterrence YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyGa4dcPqONWzjmbuZMOBHQ Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/NIDSthinkdeterrence Global Security Review: https://globalsecurityreview.com Our Free Events: https://thinkdeterrence.com/events/
