"Last month, while most of the world focused on the war in Ukraine and worried
that a beleaguered Russian leadership might resort to nuclear weapons, thus
escalating the conflict into a direct war with the U.S.-led NATO nuclear-armed
alliance, a nearly tragic accident involving India and Pakistan pointed to
another path to nuclear war. The accident highlighted how complex technological
systems, including those involving nuclear weapons, can generate unexpected
routes to potential disaster—especially when managed by overconfident
organizations."
