About this episode

1955 NEVADA TEST SITE Peter Huessy and Rick Fisher warn of unprecedented nuclear threats from China and Russia. Fisher highlights China’s rapid expansion, including hundreds of missile silos, DF-61 mobile ICBMs, and potential deployment of 6,000 to 8,000 warheads by 2035. Huessy details Russia’s modernized arsenal—such as the multi-warhead Sarmat ICBM—and warns that both powers view nuclear forces as tools for aggressive coercion rather than mere deterrence, drastically elevating global proliferation risks.
