Annie Jacobsen, journalist and author of Nuclear War: A Scenario, joins The Realignment. Marshall and Annie discuss what experts predict the initial minutes after a nuclear launch and strike would look like, why the return of Cold War style relationships between great powers has brought the threat of nuclear conflict back to the forefront, the history of the U.S. military and Executive Branch's nuclear policies, and the need to ensure that adversary nations maintain lines of clarity and communication to prevent a disastrous miscalculation.
