Political pressure to prevent nuclear war is at a low point, even as dangers escalate. The U.S. mainstream media and political discourse often overlook the catastrophic potential of current nuclear arsenals. Despite arms control efforts, the narrative remains focused on deterrence and modernization without addressing the existential risk nuclear buildups present. Cost arguments in debates distract from the imminent dangers of weapons in operational status, like ICBMs, which present a heightened risk of accidental launches amidst political and security discussions.
Despite the swift rise in nuclear threats, the political atmosphere remains stagnant, ignoring dangers posed by nuclear buildups and the rhetoric of deterrence and modernization.
Political discussions rarely challenge the nuclear establishment's narrative, focusing instead on local economic benefits rather than the catastrophic risks associated with nuclear weapons.
