Nuclear War

The current nuclear threat level is elevated due to several factors: the call for European tactical nuclear weapons, Japan's reconsideration of its non-nuclear principles, and Iran's continued nuclear activities suggest a shift towards increased nuclear armament. These developments occur in a context where traditional arms control frameworks, such as the New START treaty, are under strain, and there is a push for nuclear modernization in the US and elsewhere. Additionally, the geopolitical landscape is marked by heightened tensions between major powers, with reduced communication channels exacerbating the risk of miscalculation or accidental escalation.
