How do you get countries to move away from those types of systems that are more likely than others to introduce a miscalculation risk between parties? The Biden administration has been pushing the policy in a more constrained and restrained manner on that regard. So things like that are, again, practical things that we can do now that can help reduce the risk that either a future US leader will end up using nuclear weapons or another country will misread our actions.
