Nuclear War

Recent claims by former President Trump about North Korea's nuclear arsenal have highlighted discrepancies in estimates, with South Korean sources suggesting a significantly higher number of nuclear weapons. This uncertainty adds to the complexity of the nuclear threat landscape, which is already strained by the breakdown of key treaties like the INF and New START, modernization efforts by nuclear states, and the introduction of new technologies such as AI and hypersonic weapons. The lack of effective communication channels and diplomatic engagement further exacerbates the risk of miscalculation or escalation in a crisis.
