Further Reductions of Nuclear Weapons, by Anatoli Diakov, Timur Kadyshev and Eugene Miasnikov, February 3, 2010
"...Cooperation between USA and Russia in the search of complex solutions to the problems discussed in this article will allow not only to create conditions for the next phase of reductions towards numerically lower levels of their nuclear arsenals, but also to transform relations between the two countries from confrontational to confident and partner-like, which, in turn, will facilitate departure from nuclear deterrence in their bilateral relations."

Opinion: Change Launch On Warning Policy, by Alan Phillips and Steven Starr, April 5, 2006

"...There is no logical reason to maintain Launch on Warning. It is to the equal advantage of both sides even if only one changes its policy to RLOAD, and if both adopt RLOAD then one of the most likely causes of an unintended nuclear war between Russia and the U.S. — an accidental war due to a false warning — will be eliminated," Phillips and Starr believe.
