Nuclear disarmament expert, former U.S. Senator Sam Nunn gives Russian threat assessment

As Russia escalates its offensive in Ukraine, rhetoric from Russian President Vladimir Putin has raised international concerns over the use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine.

Former Georgia US Senator Sam Nunn is co-founder and co-chair of the Nuclear Threat Initiative, which works to prevent catastrophic attacks around the globe.

WABE’s “All Things Considered” host Jim Burress spoke to Nunn about the likelihood of such an attack and what it would mean for the rest of the world.
