A New Age of Nuclear Proliferation?

The article argues that the current geopolitical climate is leading to a new wave of nuclear proliferation, driven by state and non-state actors seeking enhanced security and influence. It examines recent developments in nuclear policy and technology, highlighting nations pursuing nuclear capabilities amid rising tensions, and discusses the implications of emerging technologies like cyber warfare and missile defense systems. The author challenges the belief that nuclear proliferation is manageable through existing treaties and diplomacy, suggesting that instability and competition are undermining these frameworks.
