Why states retain nuclear weapons: A conversation with a nuclear strategist

This week Rotaract Talks speaks with Hunter Hustus, former technical advisor on strategic deterrence and nuclear intergration. In this discussion we speak on ideas such as mutually assured destruction, low yeild nuclear weapons, and the unique nature of nuclear weapons. Both from the psychological aspect and the devastating damage that they may cause.

Rotaract Talks is a project by Rotaract Sweden with support from World of Rotaract.
