Nuclear Deterrence in a Strategic Labyrinth: Balancing Act in a Triangularized World

Deccan Chronicle  

Manish Tewari, a journalist, discusses the impact of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine on nuclear stability. He highlights the Russian President's recent pronouncements about the use of nuclear weapons if attacked, which has raised concerns among NATO leaders. The article also explores the debate surrounding Israel's potential action against Iran's nuclear program, which is ongoing in the wake of recent missile strikes. Tewari argues that maintaining nuclear stability in an era of strategic instability requires a nuanced approach that considers the complexities of the situation and the potential for escalation. He suggests that the US and Russia work together to find common ground and prevent a nuclear arms race.
