Russia-U.S. arms deal off - Eastern Express - TVP WORLD

[TexasTowelie]

On February 5, the New START treaty expires, leaving U.S. and Russian nuclear arsenals unconstrained for the first time in over half a century. In this episode of Eastern Express, we examine what the end of nuclear limits really means, and what happens when warheads can quietly multiply without building a single new missile. We break down how the U.S. and Russia can rapidly expand their deployed arsenals, and why China’s rise as a nuclear power changes everything. This isn’t about imminent nuclear war, but about destabilizing incentives and a return to Cold War logic in a far more crowded world. When the rules disappear, judgment becomes the last safeguard – and history isn’t reassuring.
