Every man, woman and child lives under a nuclear sword of Damocles, hanging by the slenderest of threads, capable of being cut at any moment by accident or miscalculation or by madness.
Biden has largely been silent on the subject. So has his vice president and possible successor, Kamala Harris. Instead, Biden has apparently given classified instructions to the Pentagon to prepare for a new approach.
Biden's decision does make a narrow kind of sense because the world has changed for the worse since his time as vice president.
Secret armaments or doctrinal shifts without public messaging will only make adversaries more paranoid and a full-on arms race all but inevitable.
