| Summary/Abstract |
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.

| Summary/Abstract |
Reactions to the 2018 US Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) have ranged from highlighting its continuity with the views of the Obama administration,1 on the one hand, to warning that it is ‘hastening the rise of a more dangerous world’ by increasing reliance on nuclear weapons, on the other.2 One analyst, somewhere in between these two poles, acknowledges a continuity of doctrine in practical terms, but argues that the ‘tone’ and spirit of US nuclear policy has changed.
