Before the end of the year Dr. James Giordano and Mr. Robert Williams recorded a discussion on the recent rhetoric from Russian President Vladimir Putin and the possibility of the use of nuclear weapons. On this episode of Clear and Present Mr. Williams discusses his views on the potential for the use of low yield nuclear weapons and the potential consequences of such use. He also discusses the potential for the use of nuclear weapons as a signaling device or as a weapon of terror, even at lower yields, and the need for careful consideration of the potential consequences of nuclear weapon use in any form.
