 * Nuclear deterrence is a very vulnerable, risky strategy. It’s basically assuming that we will be lucky forever. This is not a given, it’s just predictions about how we think nuclear armed states will react. We’ve seen these last two years, they’re not behaving rationally. It also assumes there will be not a single accident, not a single miscommunication or mistake. It’s a very worrying scenario, we see the way of warfare is changing, we have much blurrier lines of armed conflict, we have cyberattacks, we’re seeing a huge development of artificial intelligence in the military. All of these things will lead to nuclear weapons being a lot more of a vulnerability and risk than they were in the past.
