The U.S. Doesn't Need More Nuclear Weapons to Counter China's New Missile Silos


via Military Update The U.S. Doesn't Need More Nuclear Weapons to Counter China's New Missile Silos The U.S. Doesn't Need More Nuclear Weapons to Counter China's New Missile Silos The discovery of what appear to be hundreds of new missile silos under construction in China has inspired arguments that imply the United States needs more nuclear weapons. Matthew Kroenig, a Defense Department adviser during the Trump administration, suggested in a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed that “the Pentagon should study whether it can meet its deterrence requirements with existing stockpile numbers” in case “an increase…is necessary.” Senior U.S. military officials have also sounded the alarm. “We are witnessing a strategic breakout by China,” said Adm.
