Scott Sagan makes a persuasive case for no first use, arguing that such a declaration would contribute to the American objectives of preventing the use of nuclear weapons by states or terrorist groups and preventing further proliferation. He also makes the case that such a declaration would not reduce the credibility of the American deterrent but rather might increase the credibility of a non-nuclear response.
