Protecting a climate future requires also nuclear disarmament. Less than 0.8% of today’s nuclear arsenal says so. How: @nuclearban #NuclearBan

Better still: remove launch-on-warning / hair trigger alert status and sign the #nuclearban treaty: @nuclearban Isn’t interested? Try this: just 1/12,500th of nukes would destroy the economy. #TPNW #Trump

The US giving the greenlight for long-range strikes on Russia is completely reckless. Biden knows Putin has threatened to use nuclear weapons. De-escalation now is vital. reuters.com/world/europe/put…

Putin issues warning to United States with new nuclear doctrine

1/ The nuclear threats Russia has made throughout the Ukraine conflict have been rightly and universally condemned, but some Western commentators and politicians argue Putin is bluffing. This is dangerously complacent. abcnews.go.com/International…

Russia claims it shot down US-made ATACMS missiles and issues nuclear threat

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Tuesday that Russia's new nuclear weapons doctrine means Ukraine's use of Western rockets "can prompt a nuclear response."

Putin in September: If Ukraine uses U.S. long-range missiles to strike Russia, the "United States is at war with Russia." Biden in November: *Authorizes Ukraine to use US long-range missiles to strike Russia.* Biden has just two months left in office. The decision comes after Secretary of State Antony Blinken said last week that the US will rush "every dollar" at its disposal to Ukraine while Biden is still in office.

Oh and the economy. Just 1/12,000th of nukes would wreck the economy, too. Any journos want to go there? #nuclearban

@abcnews @4corners now jumping on the bandwagon calling #nuclearpower “zero-emissions”. Patently untrue: U mining, milling, enrichment, reprocessing, all related construction, transports, shipping, decommissioning, wastes for eons. One for @ABCmediawatch? abc.net.au/news/2024-10-07/n…

Peter Dutton says this is the kind of nuclear reactor Australia needs. How is it working for the US?

As Australia considers the possibility of a nuclear-powered future, the US gives us insights into what does, and doesn't, work.

The amount and frequency of ads on @SBS TV is woeful and far more than the amount limited by the @acmadotgov as stated to me in direct correspondence. Are they getting away with it due to lack of public complaints in writing?

The mind boggles as to why @SBS Insight, on the end of the world, is talking of #NuclearWeapons in the past tense only. Tell it to the 12,000 present nukes and the flawed theory of deterrence upon which nations mistakenly depend. We’re literally still here by luck. #NuclearBan

If Russia’s revised #nuclear doctrine is to be dismissed as “meh”, how does that devalue other nations’ nuclear arsenals and inherent threat of use? Deterrence theory is mere theory. It’s worked only so far, and only via sheer luck. #NuclearBan #TPNW
