Nuclear War

The current nuclear risk is elevated by several factors: North Korea's declaration of not being bound by non-proliferation treaties and its aggressive stance on nuclear use, the lack of progress in nuclear disarmament discussions, and the geopolitical tensions involving Iran, Israel, and the United States. The collapse of traditional arms control agreements like the INF Treaty and the uncertain future of New START contribute to a destabilized strategic environment. Additionally, modernization of nuclear arsenals and the development of new technologies, such as AI in military applications, further complicate the global security landscape, reducing the effectiveness of existing crisis communication channels.
