After escaping the clutches of a term paper draft, it returns!
Associated Press | Whoops. Seems like the people in charge of the most powerful weapons known to man just weren’t up to the job, and needed a bit of extra training. Not the first mistake of this manner.
Navy Live | Apparently, the Navy actually listens to talk about nuclear force cuts. Hint: it doesn’t really like it.
Breaking Defense | The SM-3 Block IB missile seems to be working, following three successful tests since May of 2012.
Breaking Defense (again) | The X-47B performed a touch-and-go landing on the USS George H.W. Bush. I wonder what’s next?
Foreign Policy | New START implementation is facing opposition, never mind the New START follow-on. Yousaf Butt proposes a DIY solution. Is the President listening?
FAS Strategic Security Blog | Apparently, the Pentagon’s China Report omitted some key facts about strategic nuclear forces.
Bloomberg | Gary Milhollin sees Iran’s nuclear plans as a long-term, not a near-term, threat.
Nukes of Hazard | Senator Graham just can’t get enough MOX money, can he? But he really promises it wasn’t pork or anything!
We hope you enjoyed this installment of FYRP.
