Herman PoppleberryHOST
Germany has formally denied that these submarines carry nuclear capability.
Herman PoppleberryHOST
And yet nearly every serious outfit that tracks this, SIPRI, the Nuclear Threat Initiative, the Federation of American Scientists, Janes, describes the Dolphin Fleet as Israel's sea-based nuclear deterrent.
Herman PoppleberryHOST
That gap is the whole episode, really.
Herman PoppleberryHOST
Official silence on one side, expert consensus on the other, and a boat sitting in the middle of it.
Sushant SinghGUEST
India did not really go out and start buying the equipment from the United States or cooperating in the manner, let's say, which Pakistan is cooperating with China.
Sushant SinghGUEST
Pakistan, as per the latest SIPRI data, almost is buying 81% of its military equipment, defense equipment from China.
Sushant SinghGUEST
And it is doing massive exercises with China, training exercises, operating in the same paradigm, using the same satellite imagery, etc, etc.
Sushant SinghGUEST
And China has no problem because it sees...
Michael WerzGUEST
Yeah, I mean, to say we're not leading is putting it in a very friendly context, right? I mean, we are the major source of the deconsolidation of the multilateral system that we might be able to destroy within the next two years and it'll take a generation or two to rebuild that and we have to be absolutely cognizant of the long-term damage that we are producing.
Michael WerzGUEST
There's an assessment that the closure of USAID alone, SIPRI in Sweden did the numbers, might cost 15 million lives in the next few years.
Michael WerzGUEST
So this is considerable and shouldn't kind of be small-balled.
Michael WerzGUEST
I feel that the only ray of hope most recently was the op-ed by the Kenyan, the Brazilian president, the prime minister of Canada in the FT, where they basically said, we are going to move forward because multilateralism is not a nice to have.
Tiffany MeierHOST
That expansion comes as Beijing's nuclear arsenal continues to grow.
Tiffany MeierHOST
The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute estimates China had about 620 nuclear warheads as of January this year.
Tiffany MeierHOST
The institute says China has also been expanding its arsenal faster than any other nuclear-armed country.
Tiffany MeierHOST
Meanwhile, the U.S. is responding to the broader nuclear buildup.
Brannon HowseHOST
Our next story comes from the New York Post, as China's leader arrived in Washington DC yesterday for a three-day state visit with President Trump, creating one of the most uncomfortable diplomatic backdrops in recent American history, particularly after our last story, right? Well, a new analysis published Wednesday again shows China is expanding its nuclear arsenal at an alarming rate, even as its leaders publicly call for global de-escalation and nuclear restraint at the very summit that Xi Jinping is now attending.
Brannon HowseHOST
China, they had an estimated 620 nuclear warheads as of the latest SIPRI data.
Brannon HowseHOST
That's up from 500 just three years earlier.
Brannon HowseHOST
The growth rate, well, it's accelerating.
Ian StoreyGUEST
Just before we came on air I was just checking the figures.
Ian StoreyGUEST
Now according to the, uh, SIPRI, which is a, a Swedish think tank that's well respected in, in the, in, in this area, in 2024 Russia's arm sales to Myanmar were $132 million.
Ian StoreyGUEST
But in 2025 that dropped to just $24 million.
BradHOST
Ooh.
Sanghun SeokGUEST
There are some other aspect to consider as well, which is nuclear weapons.
Sanghun SeokGUEST
Currently, it is estimated by an institution like SIPRI that North Korea has about 60 nuclear weapons, and we are not really sure about the exact number of nuclear warheads it has, but they need to really make sure that it has credible second-strike capability, like Edward said.
Sanghun SeokGUEST
And according to recent IEA assessment, North Korea has recently expanded its fissile material production in Yongbyon area, and it will give North Ko- Korea additional capacity to produce about four to six nuclear warheads per year, which is combined to the existing capability.
Sanghun SeokGUEST
It may produce about 16 to 20 nuclear weapons a year.
speaker_7SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
President, As the deadline for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development approaches, the SDG Report 2026 shows that only 36% of the Sustainable Development Goals are on track or making moderate progress, while 15% are regressing.
speaker_7SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It is deeply regrettable that according to the latest report of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute released at this critical time,
Todd BlancheSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
As alleged in the indictment, the defendant, then a letter carrier for the Postal Service in Utah, destroyed over 300 mail-in ballots that were meant to be delivered to residents for the June 23rd primary.
Todd BlancheSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The defendant allegedly threw those ballots into a dumpster in a church parking lot, even though he knew that they were ballots and they were clearly marked as ballots.
Bhargavi BaradwajHOST
David Mikkel is a senior associate with the Global Food and Water Security Programme, at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, where his work explores growing pressures on the world's interdependent water, food, energy, and climate systems.

Bhargavi BaradwajHOST
All right, listeners, let's move on to the interview.
Hossam el-HamalawyGUEST
And, and this has worked.
Hossam el-HamalawyGUEST
Egypt, like, bought, according to SIPRI, which is, you know, this international, uh, Stockholm-based think tank that, that, that looks into arms transfers.
Hossam el-HamalawyGUEST
Egypt was among the highest 10 countries in the world when it comes to arms purchasing for, for, for a good 10 years after the coup.
Hossam el-HamalawyGUEST
The last, the last thing that I, I, I, I would probably stress here is that Sisi also understood what cosmetic liberal democracy is needed in order to make his regime acceptable.
