A seminar at King's College London on United States nuclear strategy, asking whether the country should pursue a nuclear damage-limitation capability. It is hosted by the Centre for Nuclear Strategy and Security together with the Department of War Studies and led by Dr Charles Glaser, a Senior Fellow in the Security Studies Program at MIT. The talk argues that a damage-limitation capability is infeasible, unnecessary and dangerous, and that a countervalue strategy relying on threatening an adversary's infrastructure, economy and population could provide an excellent deterrent and reduce risks of nuclear escalation.
