Guest host Garland Nixon is joined by journalist and activist Caleb Maupin to discuss remarks by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who argued that military interventions against countries without nuclear weapons could encourage other nations to view nuclear deterrence as essential for their security. The conversation cites Iraq, Libya, Syria, North Korea, and Iran as examples the hosts use to argue that U.S. foreign policy has created incentives for nuclear proliferation rather than reducing it.
They also criticize what they describe as inconsistent approaches to nuclear issues, contrasting U.S. policy toward Iran, North Korea, Israel, and Saudi Arabia while questioning the stated rationale behind sanctions and military actions. The interview concludes that policies intended to prevent nuclear weapons may instead increase the likelihood that more countries seek them as a deterrent against foreign intervention.
