Nuclear competition among world powers is intensifying, with leaders like Donald Trump advocating for renewed nuclear testing and others seeking to expand their arsenals. Despite having enough warheads to destroy the world many times over, countries continue to pursue more, driven by geopolitical rivalries and a sense of insecurity. While some nations, such as Israel, maintain ambiguity about their capabilities, others point to recent conflicts as justification for seeking nuclear weapons. The relentless pursuit of nuclear arms benefits the defense industry, but ultimately, there are no winners in a nuclear war—only escalating risks for humanity.
