NATO’s Nuclear Deterrence: Political Failure in Eastern Europe

by Justin Davidson

This short article seeks to examine, policies of engagement with regards to NATO’s nuclear capabilities and the opposition to their continued nuclear capability within the defense community, evaluate the emplacements and delivery systems of these weapons, and consider some possible solutions to alleviate fears of NATO allies, and their desire for a greater Nuclear deterrence.
This comes in the wake of NATO and the United State's political failure to adequately utilize Nuclear Weapons systems and a method of Nuclear Deterrence to reassure their Eastern European allies in both perception and action regarding their continued mutual safety and security.
