For decades, the world has tried to put limits on the most destructive weapon ever created.
From the early days of the Cold War to the signing of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, the idea was simple: fewer nuclear weapons meant a safer world. Deterrence would hold. Agreements would matter. And the spread of the bomb could be contained. But today, that assumption is under pressure.
Join the host of How We Got Here, Jan Darasz, and his guest, Reuben F. Johnson, Director of Research at the Casimir Pulaski Foundation, as they try to address key questions: Is reliance on good-faith treaties good enough? Or has the world already crossed the point of no return?
Because once the genie is out of the bottle, it may be impossible to put it back.
