How to evaluate the risk of nuclear war

Whether the invasion of Ukraine or any other event will result in nuclear war raises desperately important questions. For the individual: should I take shelter somewhere relatively safe?

For human society: should global food production systems prepare for nuclear winter? In the worst-case scenario, a nuclear war may cause the collapse of global civilisation, potentially resulting in massive harm into the distant future. However, whether an event will result in nuclear war is deeply uncertain, as are the consequences.

Reconciling this tension between the importance of evaluating nuclear war risk and the difficulty of doing so is a primary focus of my research. So, how do we approach these uncertainties, and what can it tell us about how to interpret present-day events?

Never in the future should Western leaders allow the mafia to come to power in countries with nuclear capabilities

Yes, a nuclear holocaust is a worse case scenario come true for the unfortunate countries involved, and it will also put pressure on the other nations and UN with respect to disaster management and relief for the afflicted nations. Mechanisms should be created and maintained to prevent such an issue from arising.
