Foreign Policy magazine offers this lengthy article written by associate professor and international relations field chair of Georgetown University’s Department of Government, Matthew Kroenig, on nuclear disarmament and the many myths about nuclear strategic concerns, that certainly offers an analysis that runs counter to the usual nuclear issues commentary.

Just sayin’
