When it comes to the authority to launch nuclear weapons, however, there are no checks or balances. Millions of lives and perhaps the fate of the planet rests on the judgment of a single person, the commander in chief. When voters choose America\u0026rsquo;s next president on Nov. 8, this is what\u0026rsquo;s at stake.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ENine nations possess nuclear weapons. In a military confrontation, leaders will have little warning of a potential nuclear attack and only minutes to respond. Sophisticated hackers could deceive warning systems or disrupt command-and-control processes. Moscow and Washington still posture their nuclear forces so that they can be ordered to fire in minutes, a dangerously outdated strategy from the Cold War. Once a missile is in the air, even if fired by mistake, there is no way to order it back.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\u003C\/blockquote\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFor the full article, read\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/only-hillary-clinton-is-prepared-for-the-nuclear-threat-1477261646\u0022\u003Ehere\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"28513","created_gmt":"2016-10-24 16:45:02","changed_gmt":"2016-10-24 16:45:36","author":"Daniel Singer","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","publication":"JAG","field_article_url":"","publication_url":"http:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/only-hillary-clinton-is-prepared-for-the-nuclear-threat-1477261646","dateline":{"date":"2016-10-23T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2016-10-23T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"495351":{"id":"495351","type":"image","title":"Senator Sam Nunn","body":null,"created":"1454612400","gmt_created":"2016-02-04 19:00:00","changed":"1475895253","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:54:13","alt":"Senator Sam Nunn","file":{"fid":"204568","name":"senator_nunn_headshot_2010_cropped_0.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/senator_nunn_headshot_2010_cropped_0_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/senator_nunn_headshot_2010_cropped_0_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":320620,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/senator_nunn_headshot_2010_cropped_0_0.jpg?itok=oebUW3Zd"}}},"media_ids":["495351"],"groups":[{"id":"1281","name":"Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts"}],"categories":[{"id":"129","name":"Institute and Campus"}],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
