| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The 2018 US Nuclear Posture Review (NPR), released on 2 February, contains troubling recommendations to broaden the role of nuclear weapons in American strategy, but omits more radical options that some observers had anticipated. Overall, it feels more swamp than Trump – that is, it gives the impression of having been written by informed professionals within the mainstream of US national-security thinking, albeit clearly at the hawkish end of that spectrum. |
