Nuclear War Threat Higher Now Than During the Cold War, British Official Warns

British National Security Advisor Stephen Lovegrove warned on Thursday (July 28) that there is a greater risk of nuclear war today than during the Cold War due to a lack of communication channels.

“The Cold War’s two monolithic blocks of the USSR (Soviet Union) and NATO—though not without alarming bumps—were able to reach a shared understanding of doctrine that is today absent,” Lovegrove said.

He said during the Cold War, there was an “understanding of the Soviet doctrine and capabilities—and vice versa” because they kept more negotiation channels open. “This gave us both a higher level of confidence that we would not miscalculate our way into nuclear war,” Lovegrove said.

“Today we do not have the same foundations with others who may threaten us in future—particularly with China,” he said.
