The United States is bracing for a potential new nuclear arms race, with concerns rising over simultaneous threats from multiple adversaries. Pentagon officials are contemplating scenarios where Russia could attack a NATO member, China might seize the opportunity to invade Taiwan, and North Korea could launch an assault on South Korea, leading to three concurrent nuclear crises. This multifaceted threat landscape poses significant challenges for U.S. military strategy and preparedness. The anticipated build-up of nuclear capabilities could begin as early as 2026, reflecting a shift in focus from a singular nuclear threat to a more complex geopolitical environment.

8 commentsThe first bomb was detonated on July 16, 1945 and the world has successfully avoided incidents, accidents, etc. from spiraling out of control into a full-scale exchange for 79 years. Will this continue for 10 more months? 10 more years? 100 years or longer? Nobody knows, but the thing we do know is that there's a non-zero chance of the worst happening.
There's a book about incidents worth reading called "Command and Control": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_and_Control_(book) that's worth reading if you want to better understand the risks we're dealing with by having nuclear weapons.
Always enough money for war and weapons, while the infrastructure, education, and health systems disintegrate.
