Russia and China in the Great Strategic Triangle

The current NATO-Russia confrontation over Ukraine and the intensifying geopolitical competition between China and the U.S. are increasing the importance of nuclear weapons and nuclear deterrence, especially for the three great powers: Russia, China, and the U.S. Their policies have led to the formation of a Great Strategic Triangle, which contains an accelerating strategic (nuclear) arms race that fundamentally differs from that of the Cold War, may trigger serious conflicts between the players, and may be extremely difficult to stop.
