Grateful to have this out in @IntSecHarvard. @jessicacweiss and I show how Cold War analogies obscure more than they reveal about US-China relations. 1/6

For the first time in five decades, there is no #nuclear #armscontrol treaty between the #US and #Russia. This development raises significant questions for global #security, arms control, and the future of the non-proliferation regime. @DebakD explains the collapse of the arms control framework, what it means for the credibility of the non-#proliferation regime, and what the nuclear states must do before the damage becomes permanent.

“The US’ recent efforts to prevent the spread nuclear weapons, including actions taken during the war in Iran, risk being perceived as hypocritical in light of its own nuclear arsenal expansion. For states that have considered nuclear acquisition; most notably South Korea, Japan, and Saudi Arabia, this perceived inconsistency could create openings to justify renewed interest in nuclear capabilities. If nuclear-armed states fail to uphold their disarmament commitments under the NPT, non-nuclear states may begin to question whether they too must continue to abide by their obligations to the non‑proliferation regime.” By @DebakD: orfme.org/expert-speak/the-e…

My new book is out! Security through Cooperation looks at how US–Russia tech cooperation in the Clinton–Yeltsin years may offer lessons for the future, once we've achieved a fair outcome for Ukraine in its war with Russia, and Russia has atoned for the damage it caused.
