The New START Strategic Nuclear Arms Reduction Treaty, signed between Russia and the US, has allowed the containment of the weaponry included in this category for a decade. After several disagreements about its renewal, one of the new US Administration first actions is going to be how to tackle this problem. The different security perception between the Euro-Atlantic and Asia-Pacific theatres leads Americans, Russians, and Chinese to raise very unequal positions on the treaty future. For Europe, which has been badly affected by the termination of INF Treaty, this situation further increases a return risk to a European nuclear theatre. Meanwhile, new negotiation ways and possibilities are opening for a balance situation return. However, the European continent must be prepared to ensure its security.
