Disciplined defense: how to regain strategic solvency / Betts, Richard K   Journal Article
Betts, Richard K Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2007.
Summary/Abstract The United States now spends almost as much on defense in real dollars as it ever has before -- even though it has no plausible rationale for using most of its impressive military forces. Why? Because without political incentives for restraint, policymakers have lost the ability to think clearly about defense policy. Washington's new mantra should be "Half a trillion dollars is more than enough

Lost logic of deterrence: what the strategy that won the cold war can -- and can't -- do now / Betts, Richard K   Journal Article
Betts, Richard K Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract For half a century, deterrence was the backbone of U.S. national security strategy. But now, Washington doesn't seem to know how and when to use it properly. The United States has needlessly applied deterrence to Russia, failed to apply it when it should have against Iraq and Iran, and been dangerously confused about whether to apply it to China. U.S. policymakers need to relearn the basics of deterrence in order to apply it successfully in the appropriate circumstances.

Pick your battles: ending America’s era of permanent war / Betts, Richard K   Article
Betts, Richard K Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract For more than a decade now, U.S. soldiers have been laboring under a sad paradox: even though the United States enjoys unprecedented global military dominance that should cow enemies mightily, it has found itself in constant combat for longer than ever before in its history, and without much to show for it. Of the U.S. military actions in Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya, only the first can be counted a success.

President and the Bomb : Reforming the Nuclear Launch Process / Betts, Richard K ; Waxman, Matthew C   Journal Article
Betts, Richard K Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract In November 2017, for the first time in 41 years, the U.S. Congress held a hearing [2] to consider changes to the president’s authority to launch nuclear weapons. Although Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee, the Republican chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, insisted that the hearing was “not specific to anybody,” Democrats used the opportunity to air concerns that President Donald Trump might stumble into nuclear war [3]. After all, he had threatened to unleash “fire and fury” on North Korea, and he subsequently boasted in a tweet about the size of the figurative “nuclear button” on his desk in the Oval Office. General C. Robert Kehler—a former head of U.S. Strategic Command, the main organization responsible for fighting a nuclear war—tried to calm senators’ fears about an irresponsible president starting such a war on a whim. He described how the existing process for authorizing the launch of nuclear weapons would “enable the president to consult with his senior advisers” and reminded the senators that officers in the chain of command are duty-bound to refuse an illegal order.
