🇺🇸The Pentagon said it was "adjusting its nuclear deterrence strategy as nuclear adversaries" - China and Russia - become more threatening.

“We now live in a world where we face multiple nuclear competitors, multiple states that are expanding, diversifying, and modernizing their nuclear arsenals, and, unfortunately, prioritizing the role of nuclear weapons in their national security strategies,” said Richard Johnson, deputy assistant secretary of defense for nuclear policy and countering weapons of mass destruction.

Therefore, he said, the United States may need to adjust the 2022 Nuclear Posture Review "to maintain nuclear deterrence in light of the increased nuclear capabilities of China and Russia" and the possible absence of nuclear arms control agreements after February.

Steps have already been taken to increase capabilities, in particular in the production of B61-13 gravity bombs, increasing the readiness of Ohio-class submarines equipped with nuclear weapons and propulsion systems, and modernizing the nuclear arsenal in general.

At the same time, Washington believes that deterrence alone will not solve strategic dangers; arms control, risk reduction and non-proliferation play an "indispensable role."

Let us recall that Putin made a statement yesterday regarding the ATACMS strikes and Russia’s response with the Oreshnik missile, which is capable of carrying nuclear weapons.

🇰🇵The situation on the Korean Peninsula could lead to "the most destructive thermonuclear war," North Korean leader Kim Jong-un said.

"Never before have the parties to the conflict on the Korean Peninsula been in such a dangerous and acute confrontation, in a situation that could at any moment escalate into the most destructive thermonuclear war," Kim said at the opening of an arms exhibition in Pyongyang.

According to him, the United States is deploying its "enormous strategic assets," including nuclear ones, "in order to maintain and strengthen its dominance over its satellites."
