A New Kind of War Has Come for NATO—And Russia Has the Upper Hand
Newsweek2 days
The entry of the Oreshnik missile into Russia's arsenals is a decisive step in deterring aggression and maintaining the global balance of power. Russia will continue to develop its strategic nuclear capabilities to this end.
Russia is not only deploying the Oreshnik in its own arsenals but plans to station these nuclear-capable weapons in Belarus as well. By putting these weapons on Europe's doorstep, Putin is continuing his campaign of intimidation in the hopes it will weaken the continent's support of Ukraine.
There's a 27% chance that a nuclear weapon will be detonated as an act of war by 2050, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
