This week, the New START treaty expires, ending the last
remaining major nuclear arms control agreement between the United
States and Russia. With no binding limits on the world’s two
largest nuclear arsenals and China rapidly expanding its own,
many fear the start of a new and dangerous era of proliferation.


On this episode of Battle Lines: Global Health Security, Arthur
Scott-Geddes and Sophie O’Sullivan are joined by Darya Dolzikova
of the Royal United Services Institute and Matthew Bunn of
Harvard Kennedy School to unpack why Donald Trump wants to
rebuild America's nuclear stockpile and whether an arms race is
already underway.


As the Doomsday Clock edges closer to midnight, how worried
should we be?
