Nuclear War

Recent developments indicate a significant increase in nuclear risk, driven by the potential resumption of nuclear testing by the U.S. and Russia, which threatens to dismantle decades of arms control efforts. The modernization of nuclear arsenals by major powers, including the U.S. and China, alongside shifting doctrines and the introduction of AI into nuclear command and control systems, further destabilize the strategic environment. Additionally, geopolitical tensions, particularly involving Russia, NATO, and the U.S., exacerbate the risk of miscalculation or accidental escalation. The breakdown of traditional communication channels and treaties, such as the INF Treaty, compounds these risks, creating a precarious global security situation reminiscent of Cold War-era tensions.
