NATO To Use Nuclear Arms Amid Growing Russia-China Risk

Jens Stoltenberg, the head of the alliance said on Monday that NATO is in talks to deploy more nuclear weapons, taking them out of storage and placing them on standby, in response to a growing threat from Russia and China.

Jens Stoltenberg noted that the members were holding live consultations to use transparency about their nuclear arsenal as a deterrent.

“I won’t go into operational details about how many nuclear warheads should be operational and which should be stored, but we need to consult on these issues. That’s exactly what we’re doing”, Stoltenberg continued.

Stoltenberg went on to say, “Transparency helps to communicate the direct message that we, of course, are a nuclear alliance”.

“NATO’s aim is, of course, a world without nuclear weapons, but as long as nuclear weapons exist, we will remain a nuclear alliance, because a world where Russia, China, and North Korea have nuclear weapons, and NATO does not, is a more dangerous world”, Stoltenberg added.

Stoltenberg stated last week that nuclear weapons are NATO’s ultimate security guarantee and a means to preserve peace.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has often warned that Moscow may use nuclear weapons to defend itself in severe situations.

Moscow accuses the United States and its European allies of bringing the world to the verge of nuclear war by sending Ukraine billions of dollars in weaponry, some of which are being used against Russian territory.

NATO, which has taken on a larger role in organizing arms shipments to Kyiv, rarely talks about weaponry openly, although it is known that the United States has deployed nuclear bombs to many locations in Europe.
