Nuclear War

Recent statements by former President Trump about resuming nuclear weapons testing, coupled with Russia's declaration of reciprocal testing, signal a potential breakdown in the informal moratorium on nuclear tests, which has been a cornerstone of global nuclear stability since the end of the Cold War. Additionally, Japan's consideration of revising its non-nuclear stance and ongoing modernization of nuclear arsenals, such as the US B61-13, contribute to an increasingly unstable strategic environment. These developments occur amidst a backdrop of eroding arms control treaties and reduced crisis communication channels, heightening the risk of miscalculation and escalation.
