SUMMARY:A World Led by Rocket Men – Global Security in a New Nuclear Era
DTSTAMP:20260429T193545Z
DTSTART:20260508T180000Z
DESCRIPTION:After the short peaceful years that followed the Cold War\, the
	 world is rearming\nitself with nuclear weapons again. What does this rene
	wed nuclear arms race mean\nfor global security?\n\nWith the theatrical ba
	ckdrop of a gigantic submarine\, President Macron announced\nan unpreceden
	ted change of course: France wants to broaden its nuclear umbrella\nand co
	operate with other countries\, including the Netherlands. The reason for\n
	this drastic step is the declining confidence that the American nuclear um
	brella\nwill continue to protect Europe in the future.\n\nAt the same time
	\, treaties between the United States and Russia (which together\npossess 
	90 percent of the world’s nuclear weapons) aimed at limiting the number\no
	f nuclear weapons have expired. In addition to the United States and Russi
	a\,\nmajor powers such as China\, India\, and France are also modernizing 
	or increasing\ntheir number of nuclear warheads.\n\nWhat does this renewed
	 nuclear arms race mean for global security? Is a second\,\nEuropean\, nuc
	lear shield our best guarantee of peace? And what does the rise of\nAI mea
	n for the way nuclear weapons are controlled and deployed?
