In recent times, fears of World War III have led to a quiet increase in the global nuclear arsenal, particularly in China, Pakistan, India, Israel, and North Korea, which have collectively boosted their stockpiles by over 700 warheads. The Federation of American Scientists warns that other nations may also be expanding their nuclear capacities. Major powers, particularly the US and Russia, possess the lion's share of these weapons, while geopolitical tensions, notably involving tariff threats and military confrontations, further exacerbate the global security landscape.
'The world is witnessing an unprecedented arms buildup, with countries like Russia and China enhancing their capabilities and the US poised to resume nuclear testing.'
'Global nuclear warhead inventories indicate a rising trend, with Russia and the US maintaining dominance over 88% of the armament available across the globe.'
