Nuclear weapons and strategy from WW2 to the present: Could we plan for peace instead?

Friday, 29 April 2022 - 10:00am to 10:30am

Jacques and Jennifer look at the history of nuclear arms and nuclear strategy from the end of WW2 to the present, including US policies of ‘mass retaliation’, limited strike (SIOP), and ‘Mutually Assured Destruction’.

They refer to the current war in Ukraine, and criticise Australia’s strategy of following the US into global conflict rather than planning for peace.
