Nuclear War

Recent reports indicate a significant rise in global nuclear weapons spending, reaching record highs and signaling a renewed arms race among nuclear powers. This trend is compounded by the modernization of arsenals and the lowering of nuclear use thresholds, particularly by North Korea and Russia. The breakdown of traditional arms control treaties and reduced diplomatic channels further exacerbate the risk of miscalculation or escalation. These developments reflect a broader shift towards reliance on nuclear weapons as instruments of national power, increasing the potential for conflict in a multipolar nuclear environment.
