Scott Ritter describes the world as being a "millisecond" away from nuclear war due to the high probability of a technical or human mistake. He cites a 1995 incident where a Norwegian weather rocket was nearly mistaken for a US nuclear strike by Boris Yeltsin. Ritter argues that without the INF Treaty and other disarmament frameworks, there is no longer a "buffer time" to prevent accidental global annihilation.
