Political commentator Konstantin Kisin argues that nuclear weapons have become the primary guarantor of national security for countries possessing them, fundamentally altering global power dynamics. He posits this shift undermines the post-World War II rules-based order, leading to a multipolar world where superpowers act unilaterally. Kisin, co-host of TRIGGERnometry, also suggests Europe's energy policies have diminished its global influence.
