Deterrence Failure

I haven’t yet had time to comment substantively on the Lieber-Press Foreign Affairs article about the end of nuclear deterrence. We’re in the midst of hiring a Director, and April has been a remarkably busy month. But make sure to read Drezner. The article should serve to remind us that nuclear weapons do not, in fact, immunize a state from US attack or intervention. Much less so for Iran than for China or Russia, I would imagine.
