The discussion highlights the critical role of monitoring and detection systems, explores the political and international ramifications of renewed testing, and underscores the need for greater public awareness of national security threats, emphasizing the deep interconnection between science, strategy, and policy in sustaining effective nuclear deterrence in an increasingly complex global environment. https://www.hudson.org/events/assistant-secretary-state-christopher-yeaw-end-new-start-treaty The views expressed are those of the host(s) and guest(s) alone and do not necessarily reflect those of the National Institute for Deterrence Studies, its members, or its components.
