Are Nuclear Weapons Becoming Unusable Against Non-Nuclear States?
A new analysis asks whether nuclear weapons have lost their practical value as a deterrent against states that do not possess them. The piece examines the gap between nuclear arsenals and conventional conflicts, arguing that nuclear powers struggle to translate atomic capability into usable leverage in wars with non-nuclear adversaries. The question taps into ongoing debate over deterrence theory, escalation risks, and what nuclear stockpiles are actually for in modern warfare.
Why now: Ongoing nuclear-armed conflicts and escalation concerns are renewing debate over whether nuclear deterrence still works against non-nuclear states.
