In a growing confrontation over nuclear capabilities, Putin has requested proposals for the possible resumption of nuclear weapons tests following recent comments from Trump, who threatened to restart U.S. nuclear testing. This situation has prompted both sides to prepare for increased military posturing, with Trump ordering the Pentagon to match other nations in nuclear tests, a move characterized by experts as reckless. As Trump doubles down on his controversial statements, concerns rise about the implications for global security. Meanwhile, Putin warns that Russia may take reciprocal measures if the U.S. proceeds with its plans, signaling a potential nuclear arms race. Observers are calling for caution, noting that resuming nuclear testing could have catastrophic consequences for international relations.
