Nuclear strategy
Nuclear strategy involves the development of
doctriness and
strategies for
the production and use of
nuclear weapons. Nuclear strategy attempts
to allow the political leadership of a nation to answer the question, should
we develop nuclear weapons, what types of nuclear weapons should we develop,
and when should we use them? Nuclear strategy differs from many other
forms of
military strategy because the consequences of
nuclear warfare are
so horrendous, that the primary goal of nuclear strategy has generally been
to find ways to prevent the weapons from being used.
