Russia has just pulled out of the historic INF nuclear treaty — and the world is now on edge. This treaty once banned an entire class of deadly missiles and helped reduce Cold War tensions. But now, with rising hostility between the US and Russia, including threats from Donald Trump and warnings from Dmitri Medvedev, the nuclear chessboard is shifting dangerously fast.

In this video, we break down what the INF treaty was, why Russia’s exit matters, and how it connects to a broader unraveling of global arms control. With the New START treaty also in jeopardy and new missile systems being discussed, are we heading toward a new nuclear arms race?

Stay tuned till the end for everything you need to know about this critical turning point in global security.

00:00Russia just made a move that could push the world closer to nuclear danger, and it's not the first time.
00:05Russia has officially pulled out of the INF Treaty, the Cold War-era agreement that banned a whole class of nuclear missiles.
00:12This comes just days after a fiery online clash between Donald Trump and Dmitry Medvedev.
00:18Trump threatened action over Russia's war in Ukraine.
00:22Medvedev fired back with warnings of war, not with Ukraine, but with the U.S. itself.
00:26And then Trump doubled down, announcing that two U.S. nuclear submarines would move closer to Russia.
00:33Now let's rewind. The U.S. actually exited this same treaty back in 2019 under Trump's leadership.
00:40So is this just political posturing? Maybe. But when nuclear weapons are involved, it's never just talk.
00:46The INF Treaty once eliminated nearly 2,700 missiles. Its collapse removes a vital safety net.
00:52And with the last major arms deal, New Start, hanging by a thread, the future looks even more uncertain.
00:59In a world where words can launch missiles, the silence of broken treaties could be the loudest threat of all.
