China is the fastest growing nuclear power on the planet, building 100 new nuclear warheads every year. While many assume that China’s nuclear arsenal will be the same size as that of the United States’ by 2035, this is mere speculation in absence of evidence. Indeed, there is ample historical reason to believe that China will seek to grow a nuclear arsenal that is substantially larger and more advanced than the United States’ in the coming two decades. Accordingly, the U.S. may need a nuclear arsenal that is larger and more diverse than the one it has now if it hopes to deter simultaneously Russia and China.

Russian policy dictates it can use nukes if there is:
Reliable data on the launch of ballistic missiles on Russia and - or - its allies
Unleashing of nuclear weapons or weapons of mass destruction on Russia or its allies
An attack on critically important Russian state or military facility which could undermine a nuclear weapons response. Or
Aggression against Russia using conventional weapons when Russia is under threat.
There is something absolutely critical that no one seems to be discussing: Israel is on the brink of war with Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Iran.
For months, I've been saying that a larger-scale confrontation with Hezbollah is inevitable (see comments). However, there's an urgent…
