Strengthening Shields: The Global Nuclear Arsenal Race

With growing geopolitical tensions, Russia aims to bolster its nuclear shield amidst what it describes as 'colossal threats.' The U.S. and Russia are enhancing their arsenals, with China expanding rapidly. While the U.S. plans a costly missile defense system, experts caution the impossibility of intercepting all threats.
