Although I intend to keep posting stuff here from time to time, the reason I&#8217;ve been neglecting the site is that I&#8217;m now a guest contributor at Arms Control [...]]]></description>

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>

		<description><![CDATA[An interesting guest column appeared in today&#8217;s Des Moines Register, written by the current Physicians for Social Responsibility Board President. 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. Here&#8217;s hoping that senators heed the advice of [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve written extensively about the treaty, which is an agreement between the United States and Russia that was first signed in 1991. [...]]]></description>

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. The background is fascinating: As part of Stimson&#39;s &#8220;Unblocking the Road to Zero&#8221; project, which seeks to advance the debate about negotiated [...]]]></description>

		<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>

Forty years ago, one of the most important treaties in recent history went into effect: the The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, or the NPT.
