by ensuring greater precision in bombing “enemy” targets, reducing the
yield of a nuclear blast (a “dial-a-yield” feature), and making a nuclear attack more “thinkable,”

than older, bigger versions.
“minimizing civilian casualties if deterrence fails is both a more credible and a more ethical approach.”
