Nuclear War

The current global nuclear threat level is heightened by several factors: the potential for renewed nuclear testing by the US and Russia, as indicated by recent statements and proposals, undermines decades of arms control efforts and could trigger a new arms race. Additionally, the modernization of nuclear arsenals and the integration of emerging technologies like AI into military strategies increase the risk of miscalculation or accidental escalation. The breakdown of communication channels and the erosion of trust between nuclear-armed states further exacerbate these risks, making the strategic environment more volatile than in recent years.
