Last Wednesday, the Obama Administration held a secret meeting to set the US Nuclear Policy for the next 5-10 years. Many believed it would test Obama's "sincerity and determination." They were meeting to "finalize the administration's Nuclear Posture Review (NPR)" which is due to Congress by March 1. There were many in attendance including "secretaries of defense, state, energy, and the national security advisor as well as top military and intelligence officials." The treaty has now moved passed the Senate, where it was voted down ten years ago. Biden has also made clear his priorities when he stated, "We have long relied on nuclear weapons to deter potential adversaries. Now, as our technology improves, we are developing non-nuclear ways to accomplish that same objective." To read more on Biden and US Nuclear Weapon here is the link
As the nation to have created the first nuclear weapons, the first to use them, we should be the first to rid them. We are moving into a new age, an age in which we must face our creation and put an end to it before it puts an end to us.

"The strategy also calls for improving conventional strike capabilities so that the reliance on nuclear weapons will be reduced"
Yeah. We won't nuke you. We'll just bombard your cities with so many missiles, it'll feel like a nuke.
