Trump said maybe he could make a new deal with Russia and China, but if not, the U.S. would out-innovate and out-spend its rivals \u2013 hardly sounding concerned about another nuclear arms race. This week on Wake we\u2019ll consider if that\u2019s where the U.S. and Russia are heading, or if there are still ways to revive arms control diplomacy. Helping us to do that are this week's guests:  Tom Collina, policy director at the Ploughshares Fund Alexandra Bell, senior policy director at the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation  If you enjoy this discussion, follow Wake on Twitter @WakeOnAir.
