New START's expiry ends formal caps and inspections on US/Russia nuclear arsenals, lifting transparency and increasing the risk of nuclear confrontation without a follow-on treaty. Experts warn of long-term consequences amid geopolitical strains (Ukraine war, COVID-era pauses) and debates over China, while public support for negotiating a new deal remains high (about 91% in a poll).
