"We are building, right now, incredible military equipment at a level that nobody has ever seen before. We have no choice. We have to do it with the adversaries we have out there. We have, I call it the super-duper missile, and I heard the other night - 17 times faster than what they have right now," Trump said in the Oval Office. Trump's comments came during a White House event where he signed the 2020 Armed Forces Day Proclamation. During the ceremony, the administration also unveiled the flag of the country's newest military wing, the Space Force. It's the first new military flag to be unveiled in 72 years. "Space is going to be the future, both in terms of defense and offense and so many other things," Trump said. "And already, from what I'm hearing and based on reports, we're now the leader in space." A Pentagon spokesman was asked about the "super-duper missile" during a subsequent press call and referred reporters back to the White House.

By Jacob Cohn, Timothy A. Walton, Adam Lemon, Toshi Yoshihara. Published by Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments; May 21, 2019 https://csbaonline.org/research/publications/leveling-the-playing-field-reintroducing-us-theater- range-missiles-in-a-post-INF-world Now that the United States has suspended its participation in the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, the time has come to explore seriously the case for deploying ground-launched theater-range missiles. In this study, the authors explore the potential strategic and operational contribution of ground- launched theater-range missiles to U.S. defense strategy. They also critically evaluate the arguments that have been put forward against fielding such missiles. Finally, they estimate the cost of a variety of near- and mid-term options to field theater-range missiles. The study makes a cost-informed argument that, although not a silver bullet, deploying theater-range missiles would allow the United States to reclaim strategic options, regain military advantages, and strengthen the possibility of deterring great power conflict.

Charles "Chas" A. Richard, the commander of the U.S. Strategic Command said today. The commander spoke virtually in a keynote address to the International Security at the Nuclear Nexus seminar hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "Given Russia and China's expanding capabilities in increasingly aggressive behavior, and those posed by nuclear North Korea and possibly Iran, we must reinvigorate the national conversation on the importance of strategic deterrence," he said.
