Nuclear War

The current global nuclear threat level is elevated due to several converging factors: the modernization and miniaturization of nuclear arsenals by major powers like China, discussions around resuming nuclear testing by the US, and strategic shifts such as Japan reconsidering its non-nuclear stance. These developments occur amidst the potential expiration of key arms control treaties, reduced diplomatic communications, and increased geopolitical tensions, particularly involving Russia and NATO. The call for European tactical nuclear weapons further exacerbates the risk, reflecting a broader trend of eroding nuclear norms and increasing reliance on nuclear deterrence in international security strategies.
