Nuclear War

The recent directive by former President Trump to resume nuclear weapons testing marks a significant shift in U.S. nuclear policy, potentially undermining decades of arms control efforts and escalating tensions with other nuclear powers like Russia and China. This development comes at a time when key treaties, such as the New START, are expiring, and there is a general trend towards modernization and expansion of nuclear arsenals by major powers. The lack of robust communication channels and diplomatic engagement further exacerbates the risk of miscalculation or accidental escalation, making the current situation more precarious than in recent years.
