make up your own mind. dw may 4 mines of the sudden it would be imposing and a new kid capable of strategic from the u. s. ballistic missile. step 3 in showing up at the shows up control to end the construction side in the middle of the chinese desert. you silos for intercontinental ballistic missiles. dozens of them. these recent examples of the 3 biggest po, us displaying modernizing and increasing the us know there's no doubt in my mind that the, the risk of nuclear weapons coming into use is increasing and has increased significantly during the cold score a system of the car and kept things in check today

a more active and t, let's say for the nuclear order control treaties. all of that is under a lot of stress. the age of disarmament is over. nuclear still closed. i've growing again. so we stumbled into another and more dangerous nuclear arms race. the, the only time nuclear weapon square used in a conflict was in august 1945. when the us dropped them some urashima. it's like a saki and japan. this was the blast radius of the bomb dropped on hiroshima, push, killed up to 140000 people and this would be the devastation, 2 days, largest bombs and the american awesome. it would cost lucky the nuclear weapons having destroyed the world. yet, even though that could have happened during the cold war and

the number of nuclear warheads reached 70000 at the peak. this was due to the race between the soviet union and united states for more than 2000 new cap tests, such as here, and this will get through the end. what part of the competition you can do? yeah, i do not know. i hear of retaliation prevented both from pushing the button 1st. the principal calls mutually assured destruction. eventually, after a series of arms control treaties and the contents of the soviet union came mass us disarmament. the number of nuclear warheads went down to over 12000 to date, still enough to destroy the world multiple times. 9 countries have nukes, most keep the exact size of the us no secrets. but according to estimates the us and russia still the big play us today. china is awesome, is much smaller than the growing we get to that. and then the countries like north

korea, india pack is done from the united kingdom. history of us believes to be one of those, but has never officially confirmed it has nukes. but just as we still have the nuclear dread, closest thing of the nuclear stress test start the 3 reasons. russia's war against ukraine, the contents of arms control and china as nuclear builds up. ever since russia who's k, that's ational keep train. the kremlin has made a series of new test. rents like this towards the western nations must realize that we also have weapons that can hit targets on their territory and they have to do it still suited to all this really threatens a conflict with the use of nuclear weapons conflict and the destruction of civilization was measured for restructuring and civil is that's right from the beginning of that war. uh, nuclear weapons were a brought out rabbit, so to speak um by the russians to say to the west, listen,

don't go him directly here and try to stop us. hans christensen is the director of the nuclear information project at the federation of american scientists, the organization, advocates for transparency and risk reduction from nuclear weapons. we've seen the way they talk about needs of weapons. and the potential role of nuclear weapons involves uh, quite significantly, in the sense that it became more explicit by threatening to break the nucleotide to food and it's throwing the system of determines off balance. in 2023, he announced the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons 2 neighboring bella roofs. it's the 1st time russia since nuclear weapons outside of its own territory. this is where the nukes could be stored. and military depot in central mother was precious as a descending tactical nuclear weapons. they have a range of a few 100 kilometers lower yields and are supposed to have a battlefield purpose. besides a friend from strategic nuclear weapons,

which could wipe out an entire city, thousands of kilometers away. technical nuclear weapons and but our rules are a threat to nato's eastern members. but russia is believed to already have tactical nukes, and colleen and broad. it's west and ex clave giving of those some of the reach of a native territory. i interpret the better roost. deployment decision more is a political signal, as opposed to being driven by military or strategic necessity on the russian side. i don't know to as director for eurasia at the james martin center for nonproliferation studies, she specializes in russian foreign policy and honest control. i would contextualize this decision to, to move nuclear weapons to better was into this general array of measures that russia has taken in order to heighten the temperature and to make us in the west. feel that the risk of nuclear war is increasing due to russia. nate to begin

wrestling its own nuclear savers in europe, on the fronds and to you. k, have their own nukes. there are some 100 nuclear warheads from the united states, deployed to bases in belgium. the netherlands, germany, italy, entered key to us, maintain control over the weapons that's in the conflict. the bombs would be mounted on host nation war plains. here, that's your pilot training for just such a scenario. now, preparations are running high to put the u. s. nukes also at this base and the okay, just 100 kilometers northeast of london. it really started after rushes, invasion of premier in 2014. that's when we started seeing real changes happening in the way the americans planned the role of nuclear weapons in defense of your us as also bringing its nuclear submarines and from the us to europe. more often like this b 52 over stuck home. they're going further east,

they're going into the areas where they happened. they didn't used to go at all. um, i mean, sometimes very offensive ways in march 2023, for example in american b, 52 bomber conducted menu versus over europe, heading towards st. petersburg and turning around just before it got to russian space and in your face exercised russia similarly 2nd, that's my. so next year and 2021. remember my user over the bold succeed in the past, the us and russia had at least notified each other in this bonds. the boat exercise was like this. that was part of the new start trading. it also kept the list of the number of strategic nuclear weapons, the ones which can destroy a whole series of data being launched from a different continent. this and other agreements between the 2 sites for design to those trusts through their reputation. and let's russia and the us to reduce

desktop fire. that's after attack. can you trained russia suspended participation in the treaty? and already before and to mentioned $19.00 from took the us out of the traits, the bending mid range missiles like these something between tactical and strategic weapons, especially with trump. plus, i'm happy that the treaty does not include u. s. rivals in asia. we really have no choice. perhaps we can negotiate a different agreement, adding china and others. or perhaps we can't, in which case we will out spend and out end of a all others by far aggressive frederick for just for just the new new order. today, 6 out of the 9 new just dates are adding to desktops sites, especially one of them we have china that is rapidly building up its own nuclear arsenal and modernizing and so far,

refusing to be engaged in arms control talks because it hasn't yet reached what it was called parity with united states and russia. here in the desert near the northwest and the city of human china has built more than 100 new side of these uh, storage and launching sites for icbm. and the last 10 years alone, china has doubled its nuclear inventory. it is estimated that the country now has around $500.00 warheads and is projected to grow further. it's a dramatic change for the chinese, of course, because all the previous decades, they have consistent that they were not in, in arms raised. they didn't need more than just a small number of weapons to make the point to other countries, which is they don't do something stupid. they clearly class decided that, that it's no longer china. it's never explained why it is expanding. it's r as no until far as wants to go animals and say paging,

considered as far as know too vulnerable to an attack. so what does this mean for the new nuclear arms race? remember, the idea of mutually assured destruction we mentioned before. in the cold war, 2 sides mentioned each other as new numbers to keep the arrival in check. striking a balance will be much harder with sweet play. us in view with addition on nobody badging. how to confirm to me if you're at 1st service, in case russia and china joint forces. the unveiling of the new nuclear k to bowl the 21 is just the 1st glimpse of the u. s. new modernization program. the total price tech to update us, nuclear weapons could reach $1.00 trillion dollars over the next 30 years. so new news, more news, and more dangerous. well, the system of the turns was beginning to falter. getting it back under control will be even harder. this time,

we only have experience in the past of doing arms control and between the soviet union and the united states. we don't really have any experience doing multi acting pianist control agreements. so what does that mean for the future? the sale use of youtube weapons, their value in the minds of military and political leaders is increasing. that sends the message also to non nuclear states. we now have new countries in asia, in the maybe east and even in europe. thinking about whether they might need a nuclear weapons capability off their own. the new nuclear arms race is picking up speed and without new rules and place. it will be hard to stop the actually ride through
