A PERFECT STORM OVER NUCLEAR WEAPONS

摘要

In April 2009, Pres. Barack Obama announced that the United States would strive for "a world without nuclear weapons."* This announcement, viewed widely as a major change to US nuclear-deterrence policy, received both support and opposition in the United States. Vice Adm Robert Monroe's article "A Perfect Storm over Nuclear Weapons" (ASPJ-English, Fall 2009; ASPJ-Chinese, Winter 2009) expresses a clear objection to that policy.
