Correctly orient arms control. The U.S. should agree to arms control agreements only if they help to advance the interests of the U.S. and its allies.

1. Reject proposals for nuclear disarmament that are contrary to the goal of bolstering deterrence.
2. Pursue arms control as a way to secure the national security interests of the U.S. and its allies rather than as an end in itself.
3. Prepare to compete in order to secure U.S. interests should arms control efforts continue to fail.
