Sigh...

FAS is at it again... And 'we' are to blame, as usual...

When the Cold War ended in the early 1990s, the United States and Russia began the process of slowly dismantling their nuclear arsenals. Under the 2010 deal, New Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (START), they are each limited to 1,550 deployed strategic weapons on land, at sea, and in the air. Russia's arsenal is missile-heavy, while the U.S. has a more balanced strategic arsenal.

That agreement expires in February 2026, with little prospect that it will be renewed or respected. That means that both the U.S. and Russia will be free to build as many nukes as they can manage. They can be as exotic as can be imagined; nuclear missiles that can stay aloft for weeks, "glide bombs" designed to evade radar, and the ubiquitous "suitcase bomb" that could blow up several blocks while irradiating an entire city.

Unlike policymakers of the past during the nuclear standoffs of the 1960s-1990s, today's leaders must face a vastly different atomic world.

The Federation of American Scientists, an organization created by scientists involved in the Manhattan Project, has been tracking the worrisome trends and believes the prospect of nuclear war has never been greater.

These are the same people who publish the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists and the Doomsday Clock. They were founded to 'counter' military control of nuclear weapons, instead, wanting civilian control of them (that scares the hell out of me even more than military control).

With nine (at least admitted) countries having nukes now, it has become a bigger problem (known in science as a three body problem if you want to go research it).

These folks have protested, railed in media and press releases, and done everything they can do 'scare' people into destroying their weapons. But just like anything else, there is no way to actually determine of 'all' weapons are destroyed (see Iran's current games).

They have continually cried wolf throughout the Cold War, and now are becoming even more strident. One hopes that sanity will prevail is spite of these people!!!
