The suspension of arms control talks by China is alarming, especially as their nuclear arsenal is projected to exceed 1,000 warheads by 2030, increasing global tensions.
U.S. efforts to compel China and Russia back to arms control discussions risk worsening the situation, potentially leading these nations to enhance their own nuclear capabilities.
The current stagnation in nuclear arms negotiations recalls the Cold War, where superpowers faced intense standoffs yet recognized the need to avert direct conflict through treaties.
Historical moments show that when faced with the dire implications of nuclear escalation, leaders like Kennedy, Nixon, and Reagan ultimately prioritized diplomatic resolutions over military escalation.
