The nuclear-armed states spent 119 billion dollars on nuclear weapons in 2025. This is a 19% increase from last year. This wasted money could be better spent to address any number of humanitarian or health challenges worldwide.

105.000 milions €: són els fons públics dedicats a armes nuclears pels 9 estats que en posseeixen.
Mai a la història hem estat més a prop d'una catàstrofe nuclear i, tot i així, aquests països continuen ampliant i modernitzant els seus arsenals.

“States are increasingly relying on nuclear weapons as instruments of national power—reversing decades of efforts to reduce the numbers and role of nuclear weapons—even as the risks of miscalculation and escalation are rising”

📊 Out today: "Premeditated: 2025 global nuclear weapons spending" from @nuclearban
The unnerving figures speak for themselves, but as the report astutely notes: "It is up to each government and the citizens ... to decide which path they will choose."
