Featuring Joe Cirincione, Distinguished Non-Resident Fellow

When some experts describe Russia's war in Ukraine as “extraordinarily dangerous,” they’re thinking about how easily this conflict could escalate to nuclear war, and from there to doomsday. This week, we’re talking to Joe Cirincione about the nuclear risks in Ukraine and why finding a diplomatic off-ramp is essential.
