China harsh reaction to the deployment of the U.S. anti-ballistic missile system to South Korea in response to the significant danger of a North Korean nuclear attack (see the New York Analysis study on that topic) has raised the key question of Beijing’s nuclear arms capabilities and practices. Unfortunately, much of the information necessary to […]
Largely undiscussed in the American media, Russia is increasingly threatening the security of Europe. Putin is continuing his massive investment in modern weapons. He has formed wholly new military divisions, and has deployed theater nuclear weapons to his borders with European states. The threats extend beyond the raw exercise of military might.

Second of a three-part review of Russian-U.S. relations How should President Trump deal with Russia?

The commonly-known scenario is one in which a limited nuclear strike devastates a single target or set of targets but […]
President Obama continues to engage in an unrealistic and dangerous attempt to unilaterally draw down America’s already sharply diminished military strength, even as Russia and China continue to dramatically expand their military and conventional armed might.

As noted by the Arms Control Association, Russia has 7,700 warheads to America’s 7,100. Russian sources, however, note that in one […]
21 Democrat Senators and 35 of their Republican colleagueshave written to the President asking him to act against Iran’s nuclear-capable missile tests, a violation, they maintain, of the nuclear deal. The Democrats’ letter, quoted in The Hill http://thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/senate/263686-senate-dems-push-obama-to-act-on-iran-missile-tests states: “Such action is essential to make clear to Iran’s leaders that there will be consequences for future violations of […]
The Obama Administration’s dangerous experiment to determine whether aggressive states such as Russia, China, Iran and North Korea would respond positively to a diminished U.S. military and a reduced worldwide presence has been a failure. Russia and China have engaged in a vast, dramatic arms buildup of both their conventional and strategic nuclear forces. Both […]
