No be small wahala o! As the last nuclear arms control treaty wey United States and Russia sign don waka, una fit dey ask wetin go happen next. Dem don talk say this treaty, wey dem dey call New START, go land for grave on February 5, 2026. E don dey very clear say if dis tin expire, di arms race go just dey like fire wey don catch cloth.
Make we break am down small small. Dis New START treaty wey Barack Obama and im Russian paddy, Dmitry Medvedev sign for 2010, no be just paper wey dem dey look. Na serious matter wey dey limit how many nuclear weapons both countries fit carry. Di treaty say make US and Russia no pass 1,550 deployed strategic nuclear warheads each. But now, as dis treaty wan finish, dem fit stack more weapons without anyone checking dem.
For real, e no good at all. Person wey sabi arms control, Alexandra Bell talk say dis kind action fit lead us enter back to di Cold War zaman, wey no sabi ground rules. ‘We go dey guess now, and guessing no dey bring good news for anybody,’ she yarn. Na dis kain guessing dey lead to big trouble for world peace, my people!
As e be now, di Russian President, Putin, don show say he still dey interested to continue di limits, but Trump no don confirm anything yet. E dey delay like person wey no wan pay for beer when e don drink finish! Sekretari de State, Marco Rubio, clear am say true arms control no fit happen without China as dem dey grow dem own stockpile in a speedy way.
Experts don dey shout say e go make sense if US and Russia fit sit down reason am again. If dem no talk, di whole nuclear arms matter fit turn wahala for di world. Dem fit start to dey load bomb like say na small pepper dem dey carry. Daryl Kimball wey be executive director for Arms Control Association talk say if nothing happen soon, we fit see both side increase their arsenals in a hurry. E dey serious o!
Plus, di way arms production don dey ramp up for both sides, e dey show say dem ready for any kasala wey go come. Russia don even use di hypersonic missile wey fit carry nuclear warhead for Ukraine matter. Na dem future plans dey make US dey eye di situation sharply as dem dey prepare for any uncooperative move from Russia.
So, as we dey wait for February 5, we go dey watch how dis goment matter dey unfold. E go better make Trump and Putin reason am well before di matter turn for di worse. This no be just any kind gist; na matter wey concern us all! Make we dey shine our eye and no let any kano full our community! Dis one na serious business!
