Eric welcomes Franklin C. Miller, a Principal at the Scowcroft Group and long time public servant at the Department of State, Defense and the White House with deep expertise on nuclear strategy, escalation dynamics and deterrence. They discuss the loss of intellectual capital in the nuclear strategy arena after the end of the Cold War, the numerous panels and reports that have testified to that loss, the nature of Putin and other Russian officials' nuclear threats in Ukraine war context, traditional Russian attitudes towards and compliance with arms control agreements, and the steps that NATO can take to enhance its deterrent posture in the face of Russian nuclear sabre rattling.
