One of the things that you see when you read Project 2025 is not just the racist dog whistles, but some ideas that were exactly lifted from some of the most extreme white supremacists ever.

Department of Defense
1. Accelerate the effort to restore plutonium pit production, which is essential both for modern warhead programs and for recapitalizing the stockpile.
2. Continue to invest in rebuilding infrastructure, including facilities at the National Laboratories that support nuclear weapons development.
3. Restore readiness to test nuclear weapons at the Nevada National Security Site to ensure the ability of the U.S. to respond quickly to asymmetric technology surprises.
• 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.
MISSILE DEFENSE
Missile defense is a critical component of the U.S. national security architecture. It can help to deter attack by instilling doubt that an attack will work as intended, take adversary “cheap shots” off the table, and limit the perceived value of missiles as tools of coercion. It also allows space for diplomacy during a crisis and can protect U.S. and allied forces, critical assets, and populations if deterrence fails." Adversaries are relying increasingly on missiles to achieve their aims.
• China and Russia, in addition to their vast and growing ballistic missile inventories, are deploying new hypersonic glide vehicles and investing in new ground-launched, air-launched, and sea-launched cruise missiles that uniquely challenge the United States in different domains.
• North Korea has pursued an aggressive missile testing program and is becoming increasingly belligerent toward South Korea and Japan.
• Iran continues to maintain a missile arsenal that is capable of striking U.S.
and allied assets in the Middle East and Europe, and its rocket launches demonstrate that it either has or is developing the ability to build ICBMs.
