Nuclear War

Recent developments indicate a significant increase in nuclear tensions, particularly with North Korea's unveiling of a new facility to produce nuclear weapons fuel and its vow to exponentially increase its nuclear arsenal. This is compounded by discussions between Lithuania and the U.S. regarding potential nuclear weapons deployment, which could exacerbate tensions with Russia. These events occur in a context of deteriorating arms control agreements and modernization of nuclear arsenals globally, reducing the effectiveness of existing frameworks to manage nuclear risks. The lack of robust communication channels and emerging technologies further complicate crisis stability, increasing the likelihood of miscalculations.
