He was asked about his views on Vladimir Putin. As part of his response, he outlined his rather scrambled view of international politics: What we have today [...]]]></description>

Here&#8217;s his main point: In a world where uninformed opinions are too often passed off as information, sometimes the best prescription is to listen to the experts.

Over the past few years, as I&#39;ve written about various aspects of nuclear weapons and nuclear non-proliferation issues, I&#39;ve observed one particularly disturbing trend, which is the rather cavalier attitude people have toward &#8220;nukes&#8221;. I&#39;m not a sociologist, and I haven&#39;t conducted a formal study, but there&#39;s a tendency among people online [...]]]></description>

Test your cleverness with the Stimson Center&#39;s new online game, Cheater&#39;s Risk.

		<description><![CDATA[Also published here. When most people think of &#8220;the Cold War nuclear arms race&#8221;, they think of Reagan and Gorbachev, Kennedy and Khrushchev, treaties and international summits, Presidents and Premiers. It all starts to seem rather abstract: something from the past, to be relegated to history books and news archives. They probably don&#8217;t think of [...]]]></description>
