The deteriorating global security situation has revived long-held fears about the failure of international arms control measures.
The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace think tank this week wrote that the 'prospects for negotiating formal arms control treaties appear dim' as the world's foremost nuclear powers slide into a new era of competition and indirect conflict.There are believed to be some 12,000 nuclear warheads spread between the world's nine nuclear-armed nations, more than 10,000 of which sit in American and Russian arsenals.
The war has prompted closer cooperation between Russia and China, as well as with the rogue state of North Korea and nuclear aspirant Iran.NATO leaders—including President Joe Biden—have been clear in their concern over a direct clash between nuclear powers and vowed not to involve allied troops directly in the conflict for fear of nuclear escalation. Fellow NATO leaders in France, Germany and the U.K. have expressed similar sentiments.
