THE risk of nuclear war is posed more sharply now than it has been for six decades. The trading of nuclear threats has shattered the “nuclear taboo.”
Leaders of nuclear-armed states have repeatedly proclaimed that a “nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought,” yet they seem unwilling to engage in serious efforts to reduce nuclear tensions. The situation is perilous.
President Vladimir Putin’s warnings of “consequences greater than any you have faced in history,” President Joe Biden’s warnings of “Armageddon” and public comments by Jake Sullivan, Biden’s national security adviser, that Russia would face “catastrophic consequences” in the event of nuclear use demonstrate the deadly state of affairs. Each of these comments amounts to a threat of megadeath.
