It took us a while, but I think we got pretty interesting insights about where the P5 see nuclear risks coming from and what can be done about them. Check out our report
How do nuclear weapon States perceive nuclear risks? And what opportunities exist to reduce them? ☢️ This new report explores the contrasting visions, challenges ahead and areas of convergence identified during the UNIDIR nuclear risk retreat. Read more👉

Also the whole offense-defense equation
I am dreading the new round of debate about missile defense. It's been 60+ years (40+ from the SDI days). We know that its utility is marginal at best. And in most cases it's physics, not engineering. And still we'll have people coming out to tell us that the Earth is flat etc.

The doomsday clock was moved forward to 89 seconds to midnight. So in the last year, we got closer to destroying the world by one second? I'm not sure what to do with this information...

US states that Russia “may have exceeded the deployed warhead limit” under the New START. It was just a matter of time after the inspections and information exchange stopped but the statement puts the issue on the priority list for the incoming Trump administration
🚨The @StateDept has released its latest "Report to Congress on Implementation of the #NewSTART Treaty" for 2024. Key paragraph below which notes that, unlike when the US assessed Russia to have likely stayed within Treaty limits in 2023, Russia might have minimally exceeded them in 2024. The report goes on to say: "Although the United States cannot certify that the Russian Federation is in compliance with the terms of the New START Treaty, it does not determine that Russia’s noncompliance specified in this report threatens the national security interests of the United States."

There are few people that know nuclear security in general and Russian nuclear security in particular as well as Dima, he would be an invaluable hire!
Dear Colleagues and Friends! The program I had supported for 20 years was discontinued some time ago, and my contract was not renewed. I am now looking for a job and would appreciate your help. Please share or reach out. LinkedIn:
