As reported by NBN with a link on the official page of the US Department of Defense, Washington intends to adjust the current nuclear deterrence scenario due to the “increased nuclear potential” of not only the Russian Federation, but also China.
According to Richard Johnson, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Nuclear Policy, the United States remains committed to the current military doctrine, but if it is necessary to adjust nuclear forces, then it should prepare to implement changes promptly in order to promptly maintain the ability to achieve a high degree of nuclear deterrence against the backdrop of the strengthening of the identical potential of China and the Russian Federation.
Grant Schneider, Deputy Director for Strategic Stability of the Joint Staff, added—The US Department of Defense, with the participation of the National Nuclear Security Administration, has already taken a number of measures aimed at expanding the capabilities of the above-described deterrence:
…By 2030, we need to modernize our nuclear forces, the nuclear command and control system, and the infrastructure associated with them.
Earlier, we wrote about how the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry commented on the strike of Putin's army with an intercontinental missile.
