Q. is the world heading towards a new nuclear arms race?

The focus of civil society has been taken up with climate change as an existential threat, so the build up of nukes in the US, China & Russia has (perhaps) escaped out notice.... Now Jessica Matthews (Carnegie) sees a revival of the sorts of nuclear politics that for those around my age (now in our 50s/60s) will be both familiar from our past & likely unwelcome.... it doesn't look good.
