Episode Notes:

Ankit talks with John Warden about how the United States should think about its nuclear strategy as we move into an environment in which the United States must manage two nuclear peers — China and Russia. They discuss how Washington should think about force sizing, nuclear strategy, and targeting policy — and how the choices that Washington makes now will help shape the future strategic environment.
