Hovering Clouds of Arsenals across the Globe: Taking into Account Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty

Nuclear politics is always a tricky business at the international level. Understanding nuclear politics is not easy for teachers, students, researchers, and scholars of nuclear politics and global affairs. Arms Control doesn’t mean controlling or reducing the arsenals, it is sometimes building arsenals to influence the opponent as two superpowers expanded their nuclear arsenals and raised the slogan of arms control. In this sense, the world witnessed hovering clouds of arsenals across the globe during the cold war era when the USSR and the USA plunged into conflict in the Korean Peninsula, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and in the European vicinity. Although a number of agreements have been signed by powerful states to avoid nuclear tussles and they remained successful but the race between USSR and USA stimulated other countries to build nuclear arsenals. The bitter reality is that some countries achieved nuclear technology some trying to get like Iran. However, except for nuclear issues, there are several issues in global politics because now the world has become multipolar, and more interestingly China is an emerging global power and influencing the states across the globe. On the other hand, a number of treaties have lost their worth or been withdrawn such as INF Treaty and NEW START Treaty is going to expire in February 2026. The question is that what world-leading powers learned from history in sense ofnuclear tussles? Because INF has been terminated and New START is also going to be expired. What would be next? What will be the consequences of the termination of INF firsthand and the New START Treaty if it would be terminated? This research attempts to find out these main questions through descriptive-analytical research Methodology
