Earlier this week, the UK Chief of Defense Staff said that 'a third nuclear age is upon us'.

❔What does this mean?

❓How should policymakers and the public respond?

Under Trump, the US may return to full-scale explosive testing of nuclear weapons. It would be a lose-lose-lose for the US, the budding nuclear arms race, and humanity itself. My colleague Jenn Knox explains exactly why here: blog.ucsusa.org/jknox/we-nee...

The second Trump administration is likely to resume explosive nuclear weapons tests, but they are unnecessary and can have dire consequences that last for generations.

Russia issued a new nuclear policy document. Here is an illustration of the changes between the 2020 and 2024 texts relating to the conditions under which Russia might use nuclear weapons. I think its old wine in a new bottle.
