Senior Fellow Peter Huessy joined The John Batchelor Show to discuss why nuclear deterrence prevents global conflicts.

On The John Batchelor Show, Peter Huessy marks Armistice Day by arguing that past arms control treaties reduced nuclear arsenals, but that neglecting strategic deterrence puts global security at risk. He contends that strong nuclear deterrence remains essential to keeping conventional conflicts in Europe, the Middle East and Asia from escalating.

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