For what its worth, I think that all is happening here is a face saving operation where the Russian can be seen to be reducing the weapons in an "honourable" way - for public consumption! We all know and understand that Russia cannot maintain its current stockpile, it cannot even maintain adequate security on their existing weapons, in order to give them a way out you have these arms control things.I think it probably suits the US as well. So far there is no real updated strategy on the mission or targeting for the current weapons let alone any "new" systems - doctrine is still pretty much "cold war" in terms of philosophy, targets, alert and delivery etc. etc. I think the only thing that is being looked at on a more tactical basis are the submarine forces?What are your views on US nuclear doctrine in the 21st Century. At what point do you think that the US nuclear deterrent ceases to be viable? At the height of the cold war there were around 70,000 war heads on the US/Russian inventory enough to evaporate just about everyone, do you want to go back to that - there are now many other countries that need to be considered potential threats not just Russia! On the other hand the UK has around 180 and Israel has 10 I think that’ll ruin most peoples day if they were deployed!
