Episode Notes:

As Europe confronts a resurgent Russia and growing doubts about American reliability, long-standing assumptions about nuclear deterrence on the continent are being forced open for the first time since the Cold War. Ankit speaks with Tobias Bunde of the Hertie School in Berlin about a sweeping new report assessing Europe's nuclear options, from doubling down on U.S. extended deterrence to the prospect of an independent European arsenal.
