'Tis the season for...renewed arms control? New START formally expires in 50 days. The more we can put this issue on the radar of US politicians in the lead-up to the new year, the greater our chances of success in maintaining limits on the world's two largest nuclear arsenals.

Rebecka Green of @ploughshares.bsky.social watched over 20 films about nuclear weapons in one month, which taught her "several valuable lessons.

🚨 “While the details of this policy shift are unclear … it threatens to upend relations between nuclear-armed states and push the world deeper into a new arms race" — Ploughshares President @emlbelcher.bsky.social in @newsweek.com www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

Earlier this year, Nevada passed a (bipartisan!) resolution, AJR 13, opposing the resumption of nuclear testing. Nuclear testing comes with potential harms to people and the environment and NV doesn't want it. Here's what I told the state legislature about why any return to testing is a bad idea:

"Because of other countries testing programs" President Trump ordered the Pentagon "to start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis". Normally, testing nuclear weapons refers to explosive testing of a nuclear weapon, something the US has not done at full scale since 1992.

President Donald Trump’s announcement that he has “instructed the Department of War to start testing our nuclear weapons on an equal basis” is reckless, needless, and dangerous for both national and world security.

Global nuclear warhead inventories, 2025 Russia🇷🇺 4309 United States🇺🇸 3700 China🇨🇳 600 France🇫🇷 290 United Kingdom🇬🇧 225 India🇮🇳 180 Pakistan🇵🇰 170 Israel🇮🇱 90 North Korea🇰🇵 50

1. The U.S. does not have the most nuclear weapons (Russia does). 2. Truly don’t even know what he could mean by the second sentence. That did not happen. 3. China will not be even with us in 5 years. 4. No other country is conducting nuclear weapons testing. “On an equal basis” = not at all

I’ll give someone $1000 if they can find one factually correct statement in this post

The threat of nuclear war never went away. 📰 For the @latimes.com, @atomicbell.bsky.social & Gov. Jerry Brown of @thebulletin.org discuss the "cold, hard truth" of A House of Dynamite and the paramount importance of diplomacy and ongoing public discourse ⬇️ www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...
