Episode art for The John Batchelor Show segment with Peter Huessy

Senior Fellow Peter Huessy joined The John Batchelor Show to discuss nuclear deterrence and the challenges of modernizing America’s nuclear forces.

On The John Batchelor Show, Peter Huessy reflects on Cold War nuclear civil defense drills and examines modern nuclear strategy. He outlines the history of arms control, explaining that the US exited the 1972 ABM Treaty in 2002 to deploy ballistic missile defenses against emerging threats like North Korea. Huessy emphasizes the urgent necessity of modernizing America’s aging nuclear triad (55-year-old Minuteman III missiles, 40-year-old submarines, and 70-year-old B-52 bombers) to maintain effective deterrence against Russia’s vast tactical nuclear arsenal.

Peter Huessy is a Senior Fellow at the Gold Institute for International Strategy, a Washington D.C. based foreign policy and defense think tank.
