Nukes for All! (But Finland First) || Peter Zeihan
"The only way you can convince the Finns and the Japanese and the rest that this is not necessary is for a robust multilateral alliance guaranteed by the United States. But that is exactly the circumstances the Trump administration is unraveling."
Zeihan directly attributes the coming wave of nuclear proliferation to Trump administration policies dismantling US security commitments. He argues only credible American alliance guarantees could prevent Finland, Japan, and other nations from pursuing independent nuclear deterrents.
