The U.S. increased spending on nuclear weapons by 18% to a total of $51.5 billion and China was the second biggest spender.
[Putin] stated Russia was withdrawing forthwith from the landmark nuclear arms control agreement signed with America in 1990.
The announcement that the U.K. will join the U.S. and Australia in developing hypersonic missiles could herald the start of an arms race.

Today's U.S. has become the biggest variable that constantly provokes confrontation among major powers.
Russia and the United States reduce their arsenals, but intensify their modernization.
No doubt the principles that have governed the world since 1945 have changed.
