About the Episode

This week Russian state TV aired a chilling propaganda video showing nuclear destruction in the United Kingdom, echoing bluster from Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov last month on nuclear escalation over Ukraine. Former US Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Rose Gottemoeller, who negotiated the new START treaty with Russia, joins Deep Dish to explain how Russia’s actions have altered conversations on arms control and why it’s still critical for the United States and Russia to work together to prevent nuclear war.
