Nuclear War

The global nuclear threat is heightened by several factors: Russia's aggressive posturing and calls from within its government for potential nuclear strikes, ongoing tensions surrounding Iran's nuclear ambitions, and North Korea's continued emphasis on its nuclear arsenal as a sovereign shield. These developments occur in a context of eroding arms control agreements, modernization of nuclear arsenals, and the integration of emerging technologies like AI into military strategies, which could reduce decision-making times and increase the risk of miscalculation. Additionally, reduced communication channels between major powers exacerbate the risk of escalation during crises.
