“I think the fundamental message is that we are breaking from 30 years of flawed policy,” said a congressional aid familiar with the report.
“One doesn’t need to look far to see that every single president within the first few months of their administration, goes and meets with Putin.”

Victoria Nuland played a significant role in the U.S. foreign policy, particularly concerning Russia, Ukraine, and the countries of the former Soviet Union. Nuland participated in negotiations between Russia and NATO in the '90s, as well as in talks between Russia and Ukraine in 2016 and 2022. She recently left the State Department, so now she can share a lot of new insights.
Strobe Talbott , 18 Jan. 2019: Whether he knows it or not, Trump is integral to Putin’s strategy to strengthen authoritarian regimes and undermine democracies around the world. This unprecedented aberration defiles what America stands for at home and abroad; it alienates and dispirits our allies; and—if it is allowed to persist—it will jeopardize our security.

William Perry on Stanford Uni Blog 15.8.2015
"On my seventeenth birthday in October 1944, I drove to Pittsburgh, passed the exams for the Army Air Cadet program, and was sworn in, but months later the Air Cadet program was discontinued. After completing a few semesters of college, I enlisted in the Army Engineers. The army trained me in map-making and assigned me to the Army of Occupation of Japan, where I was sent to a base outside Tokyo for training."
"William J. Perry was the 19th Secretary of Defense for the United States from February 1994 to January 1997.

February 2, 1998 National Press Club nuclear abolition, deterrence
Retired General Lee Butler was the first U.S. commander of U.S. nuclear forces to ever call for their abolition. He talked about his place in the U.S. strategic planning for nuclear war and then described his abhorrence of using nuclear weapons and the effects of such use. He felt that the U.S. should use its powerful place in the world to set the example for abolishing nuclear weapons. After his prepared remarks he took questions from the audience.

Neue Atomraketen sollen nach aktueller Planung nicht in Deutschland stationiert werden. Allerdings parallel zu dieser Entwicklung sieht die nukleare Teilhabe der NATO vor, dass die bisher in Deutschland stationierten, alten Atombomben durch die neuen B61-12 Atomwaffen ersetzt werden. Die Stationierung der neuen konventionellen Waffensysteme ist jedoch ein weiterer Schritt im aktuellen Rüstungswettlauf und erhöht das nukleare Risiko. Denn sowohl die Tomahawks als auch die Hyperschallwaffen könnten tief in russisches Staatsgebiet eindringen und nukleare Infrastruktur oder Teile des russischen Atomwaffenarsenals angreifen. Die Vorwarnzeiten schrumpfen bei dem Einsatz von Hyperschallraketen, sodass Entscheidungen innerhalb von Minuten getroffen werden müssen. Im schlimmsten Fall kann das zu einer „Use them or lose them“-Situation führen, in der die Entscheidung getroffen wird, das eigene nukleare Arsenal abzufeuern, bevor es von der gegnerischen Seite in einem Erstschlag zerstört wird. Damit wird die Gefahr von katastrophalen Missverständnissen und Fehlkalkulationen erhöht. Ein solches Szenario mag momentan noch weit entfernt erscheinen, doch die angekündigte Stationierung der neuen Waffensysteme bringt uns dieser Bedrohung ein gutes Stück näher.
