Secret Plan Outlines the Unthinkable
Quote:Under what circumstances might nuclear weapons be used under the new posture? The NPR says they “could be employed against targets able to withstand nonnuclear attack,” or in retaliation for the use of nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons, or “in the event of surprising military developments.”
Planning nuclear-strike capabilities, it says, involves the recognition of “immediate, potential or unexpected” contingencies. North Korea, Iraq, Iran, Syria and Libya are named as “countries that could be involved” in all three kinds of threat. “All have long-standing hostility towards the United States and its security partners. All sponsor or harbor terrorists, and have active WMD [weapons of mass destruction] and missile programs.”
