  5. Weapons Delivery • Missiles deliver conventional or nuclear warheads • Ballistic Missiles – enter atmosphere • Cruise Missiles – fly closer to ground • Tactical – short range missiles • Strategic – longer range missiles • IRBM • Tactical ~2,500 mile target • “Pershing Missiles” • SLBM • Strategic • “Poseidon / Trident” • ICBM • Strategic 20K mph, targets 9K miles away • “Minutemen / MX” • US fixed site, USSR mobile launchers • ABM • Destroy offensive missiles in space… • ABM defense systems http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/systems/nuke-size.htm

  10. New START (2010)

  11. Values Line Directions Take a few minutes to evaluate your opinion on nuclear weapons… (survey) Strongly Agree – 2 steps forward Agree – 1 step forward Undecided – Stay on the line Oppose – 1 step back Strongly Oppose – 2 steps back

  12. Obama & Arms Reduction http://www.hulu.com/watch/148962/movie-trailers-countdown-to-zero---trailer#continuous_play=on • Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKSn1SXjj2s • Prevent nuclear terrorism & proliferation and reduce the role of nuclear weapons in our national security strategy, while sustaining a safe, secure & effective nuclear deterrent. • Reading Activity “Nuclear Weapons Goals & Obstacles” • Moving Toward Zero

  13. Homework: Wiki Post • What should our nuclear weapons policy look like? • Should we keep nuclear weapons as an essential part of our security strategy? Modernize weapons, stockpiles, and a NMD. • Should we rely on the current system of arms control and lead the international effort to strengthen treaties and minimize existing arsenals? • Should we move toward nuclear zero and eliminate all nuclear weapons and defense systems now?

  14. Closure • Identify and describe the goals of three of the disarmament negotiations discussed today.
