“The United States remains the world’s most secure nation. It is surrounded by broad oceans and peaceful neighbors. It possesses the world’s first- or second-largest economy, depending on the standard used. It is the world’s wealthiest country. If Americans stopped trying to micro-manage foreign affairs, they also would be the world’s safest people. … the U.S. is risking nuclear war through ‘extended deterrence,’ by which it plans to use nuclear weapons to defend allies from attack. The policy was established during the Cold War and persists largely through inertia. Nevertheless, Washington policymakers appear determined to double down.” (09/12/24)
