Multiple nuclear peer adversaries challenge the U.S. and its allies’ and partners’ security, according to the Defense Department.
As the security environment evolves, adjustments to the 2022 Nuclear Posture Review may be required to sustain the ability to achieve nuclear deterrence, in light of enhanced nuclear capabilities of China and Russia and possible lack of nuclear arms control agreements after February.
The underlying logic of nuclear deterrence remains sound. Also, the U.S. remains committed to a safe, secure and reliable nuclear deterrent, he said. However, the nuclear modernization program of record, while necessary, may be insufficient moving forward, he added.
? Plans to deter multiple nuclear-armed adversaries simultaneously.
? Requires the integration of non-nuclear capabilities, where feasible, to support the nuclear deterrence mission.
? Stresses the importance of escalation management in U.S. planning for responding to limited nuclear attack or high-consequence, non-nuclear strategic attack.
? Enables deeper consultation, coordination and combined planning with allies and partners in order to strengthen U.S. extended deterrence commitments.

This is another area of potential conflict where Russia has a tremendous advantage that is unacknowledged. Russia’s nuclear forces have all been modernized with new missiles and delivery systems with superior technology. The US has an aging force that is increasingly costly to maintain. For the west, the sad truth is that Russia doesn’t even need nuclear missiles to defeat them. They will need to spend enormous sums to modernize, and even then they will be far behind in quality because they can’t match Russian technology. Of course, no one will mention it, but the time has come to eliminate this class of weapons from the face of the earth.
