Cato Institute Warns Against Tactical Nuclear Weapons

Original: Don’t Be Swayed by Tactical Nuclear Weapons

The Cato Institute argues that tactical nuclear weapons should not be treated as a usable or manageable category of arms, cautioning against being swayed by their supposedly limited scale. The think tank's message, published amid ongoing debate over nuclear policy, stresses that any nuclear use carries catastrophic escalation risks regardless of a weapon's size or yield.

Why now: Ongoing global concern about nuclear escalation is prompting renewed debate over whether smaller tactical weapons lower the threshold for nuclear use.
