"The united West has a total of 2,500 nuclear warheads. In five years, given China's activities, which will reach the level of the US and Russia, the situation will be different.

The Global South already has more. China has about 600 warheads, plus India and civilian Pakistan, plus North Korea—that's a little more. But in five years, the Global South's nuclear superiority over the Global West will be twofold," Bortnik said.

“If the arms race is not limited, the combined Russian and Chinese potential will be around 4 warheads, plus other countries in the Global South – approximately twice as much as the combined potential of Western countries.

And this will create a strategic advantage that will dominate public opinion, economic, and political processes around the world. Everyone will understand this.

And although in five years this won't be Trump's problem, he will be remembered the way Trump now remembers Biden. "To say that Trump lost the nuclear arms race is because of him, that we are in this situation now," he concluded.
