The US must reject a ‘sole purpose’ nuclear policy (Jim Risch, Defense News)

October 26, 2021

For decades, U.S. administrations have embraced a policy of strategic ambiguity regarding the use of nuclear weapons.

While administrations have considered shifting to a no first use policy, they inevitably understood it would damage U.S. and allied security. Indeed, the Obama administration studied this closely and rejected such a policy change not once, but twice. Earlier this year, our British allies also rejected this change, and they maintain their own policy of strategic ambiguity.
