134 The NIDS View: Is America Prepared for a Strike Against its Nuclear Command and Control?

In this episode, Adam, Curtis, and Jim review an article suggesting that, following America's successful attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, the U.S. might be unprepared for a strike against its own nuclear arsenal. They discuss the complexities of nuclear deterrence, emphasizing the importance of airborne alert systems, the historical context of the Looking Glass mission, and the impact of modern technology on nuclear strategy. They debate the necessity of traditional systems versus new technological advancements, highlighting the need for a strong command and control structure to maintain effective deterrence. The conversation also addresses the significance of visibility in deterrence and the ongoing modernization of nuclear systems, including their command and control.
