The imminent expiration of the New START treaty, the last remaining nuclear arms control agreement between the United States and Russia, has raised global concerns about a potential new arms race. As reported by The News Pakistan and Tribune Home, Russia has expressed its readiness to adapt to a world without nuclear limits, with Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov stating, 'The lack of an answer is also an answer,' highlighting the absence of a response from Washington on extending the treaty. The treaty, originally signed in 2010 by US President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, is set to expire on February 5, 2026, removing mutual limits on the world's two largest nuclear arsenals, as noted by The Guardian. This development marks the end of over five decades of strategic arms control, contributing to global instability and the erosion of the post-World War II international order.
