Summary:

A report on how nuclear war may be remote, but the risk of nuclear attack somewhere in the world has increased due to Russia's President Vladimir Putin, whose generals used military force to invade Ukraine and seize its Republic of Crimea in 2014. Since then, the United States has responded with more aggressive B-52 flying mission exercises. America has developed a low-yield nuclear weapon, the B-61, a bomb with greater accuracy that would decrease the number of civilian casualties. Russia is also developing low-yield weapons. Includes interviews with: Major General Richard Clark, U.S. Strategic Command (STRATCOM) Commander for Global Strike; Ret. General Philip Breedlove, Commander, U.S. European Command; Hans Kristensen, director of the nuclear information project at the Federation of American Scientists; Rear Admiral Steve Parode, STRATCOM Director of Intelligence; David Shlapak, senior international research analyst at the RAND Corporation; and Admiral Cecil Haney, STRATCOM Commander.
