ASP CEO Brig. Gen. Stephen A. Cheney, USMC (Ret.), and Matthew Wallin were featured on the Hill’s Congress Blog, publishing an op-ed titled “Time to Fix our Seriously Misaligned Nuclear Strategy.” Wallin and Cheney discussed the limitations of current nuclear strategy and mapped out four ways to improve the United States’ nuclear strategy. Wallin and Cheney addressed the need for Congress to change the United States’ strategy, stating:

Despite this, and more than two decades after the end of the Cold War, we still maintain a vastly oversized nuclear arsenal designed to destroy a country 185 times the size of North Korea. This strategic misalignment leaves an enormous gap in our ability to counter modern nuclear threats. The more than 1,500 deployed nuclear weapons currently in our arsenal may have been historically effective in deterring a nuclear exchange with the Soviet Union, but this arsenal has done nothing to deter the ongoing proliferation of such weapons
