Nuclear War

The recent directive from the U.S. leadership to potentially resume nuclear weapons testing marks a severe departure from long-standing non-proliferation norms and could trigger a new arms race, as other nuclear powers may feel compelled to follow suit. This development, combined with the breakdown of key arms control treaties and modernization of nuclear arsenals by major powers, exacerbates global instability. The erosion of crisis communication channels further heightens the risk of miscalculation or accidental escalation, making the current environment particularly precarious compared to previous decades.
