One Two Three Four, We Could Get A Nuclear War:
"Trends in nuclear proliferation and doctrine could render U.S. guarantees to
allied countries “not very credible”, according to strategic-weapons analyst Barry
Watts of the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Affairs. In a new CSBA report,
Watts notes that U.S. actions – reductions in nuclear forces and a steady
drawdown in the ability to build new warheads – are at odds with activities in
Russia, emerging nuclear nations and, possibly, with China."
"The result: there is no single standard “firebreak” between conventional and
nuclear weapons. If the conventional revulsion against their use does not hold,
Watts warns, “limited use of low-yield nuclear weapons will become the new
normal and give rise to a second nuclear age whose dangers and uncertainties
will dwarf those of the first.”"
