In the Bulletin, I argue that continuing compliance with the central limits of New START for a year, or two, or three, would offer time for exploring what future accords might help avoid the dangers of a three-way nuclear arms competition.

🚨 JUST IN: President Donald Trump has an opportunity to avoid the dangers of an unrestrained nuclear arms competition—something he has repeatedly warned about. Will he seize it? Latest by Matt Bunn (@matthew-bunn.bsky.social) in @thebulletin.org #nuclearweapons #nukesky #Trump #Putin #China

Professor @matthew-bunn.bsky.social provides his thoughts on the 80th Anniversary of the Trinity Test: www.belfercenter.org/research-ana...

The nuclear fire lit for the first time in the Trinity test 80 years ago today kindled both fears of horrifying nuclear destruction and hopes that the nuclear threat would force nations to cooperate for peace. Unfortunately, 80 years later, the nuclear horizon is darkening.

80 years ago this morning—at 5:29 AM (Mountain War Time)—about 35 miles southeast of Socorro, New Mexico, the nuclear age began with a big bang. Contrary to widespread assumptions, the area surrounding the remote Trinity test site was not uninhabited, and the fallout did not drift away harmlessly.

In an episode of The World, @matthew-bunn.bsky.social provides his thoughts on the bombing of Iran and how those may affect the efficiency and sustainability of the Non-Proliferation Treaty.  theworld.org/segments/2025/07/09/bombing-iran-has-put-one-of-the-most-successful-treaties-ever-in-doubt
