[Regnum] The US buildup of nuclear potential will not ease tensions with Russia, but will only increase the risk of a nuclear war. This assumption was made by William Hartung, an analyst at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Government, in an article for Responsible Statecraft.
He commented on a report by the Heritage Foundation think tank, which suggests that the future American president should increase the country's nuclear potential in light of the successes of Russia and China.
"Instead of returning to the Cold War-era nuclear arms race, Washington needs to find ways to ease tensions with its main rivals," the expert wrote in an August 5 article.
As reported by Regnum News Agency, the head of the National Nuclear Security Agency, Jill Hruby, said on August 4 that the Pentagon received more than 200 modernized nuclear weapons in 2023. This is the largest delivery in a year since the end of the Cold War.
In May, renowned American economist and Columbia University professor Jeffrey Sachs called on American President Joe Biden to enter into negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin to mitigate the risks of a nuclear war in the world. The economist criticized the White House for refusing to contact those whom Washington considers its opponents. The professor also praised the Russian leadership.
That same month, Russia's ambassador to Washington, Anatoly Antonov, called on American officials to reconsider their aggressive rhetoric toward Moscow, stressing that a clash between the two nuclear powers would have unpredictable consequences.
On July 31, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, stated that the hybrid war unleashed by the US and NATO against Russia threatens a direct clash between nuclear powers.
