NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg announced that the alliance is considering steps to enhance its nuclear deterrence, including taking nuclear weapons out of storage and placing them on standby. This move comes amid escalating tensions between NATO and Russia, with the Kremlin condemning the decision as an example of double standards and a further escalation of tensions. The discussions among NATO countries also coincide with China's efforts to modernize and expand its nuclear arsenal. In 2023, $91 billion was spent on nuclear armament, and Putin's rare state visit to North Korea this week marks a likelihood of significant escalations.
