NATO and Nukes (with Artur Kacprzyk)

The Eastern Front

With continued uncertainty over the trajectory of the war and aid to Ukraine, European nations have begun to consider the need for a more aggressive deterrence posture. On this episode of The Eastern Front, Giselle, Dalibor, and Iulia welcome Artur Kacprzyk, analyst in the International Security Programme at the Polish Institute of International Affairs, to discuss how NATO can capitalize on its nuclear deterrent. What does the current state of NATO's nuclear deterrence look like and how effective has it been? How are different Eastern European countries thinking about nuclear deterrence? What changes should be made to nuclear policy at the NATO summit this summer?
