Arms redusction, Obama's new nuclear weapons policy.
In a statement marking the 40th anniversary of the signing of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), President Obama said last Friday (March 05): "Our forthcoming Nuclear Posture Review will move beyond outdated Cold War thinking and reduce the number and role ofnuclear weapons in our national security strategy, even as we maintain a safe, secure and effective nuclear deterrent." It will be interesting to find how much the NPR will really "move beyond outdated Cold War thinking" while deterrence will continue to be the cornerstone of US nuclear policy.
