Nuclear War

The current nuclear threat level is elevated due to a combination of factors including the potential resumption of nuclear weapons testing by the U.S., as indicated by recent statements, and the ongoing modernization of nuclear arsenals by major powers. These developments occur in a context where traditional arms control treaties have weakened or collapsed, such as the INF Treaty and the Open Skies Treaty, leading to a more unstable strategic environment. Additionally, emerging technologies like AI and hypersonic weapons further complicate deterrence dynamics, while reduced communication channels between nuclear states increase the risk of miscalculation.
