Breaking: Are we on the BRINK of NUCLEAR WAR? The Cold War taught us that NUCLEAR competition between superpowers requires constant communication, agreed-upon limits, and mutual understanding of the catastrophic cost of escalation. For decades after the Soviet Union collapsed, we thought those lessons were permanently etched into strategic doctrine. Today, we face a situation that echoes the 1960s in every significant way. Nine (9) nations now possess NUCLEAR weapons. There is no shared understanding of escalation thresholds. The frameworks that prevented NUCLEAR WAR have been dismantled, and no one has built replacements. We are reliving the most dangerous period in human history, but this time with more NUCLEAR powers and less experience.
