Episode Notes:

Ankit sat down with Edward Geist, a policy researcher at the RAND Corporation, to talk about U.S. nuclear force planning. The conversation touched on the need to think about adversary perceptions, rather than just the total number of U.S. nuclear forces, and how to plan for a future where two peer adversaries – China and Russia – will have large numbers of nuclear weapons.
