His social media is vague and incoherent but exceedingly reckless nonetheless. I have a hard time believing he actually means explosive nuclear testing. We’ve been warned about this person for years. Was the danger not obvious?

Today in 1979, the massive concrete dome on Runit Island at Enewetak Atoll was completed, entombing 4,700 cubic meters of radioactive debris and more than 83,000 cubic meters of contaminated soil scraped off neighboring islands—the dangerous residue of 43 US nuclear tests from 1948-58.

I see lots of op-eds, articles, etc. explaining why nuclear weapons are so horrific and the threat so grave. I do not see nuclear weapons proponents telling us why these weapons are so important that we must invest trillions of $$ and put all life at risk. Why so silent nuclear weapons supporters?

Even a “small” nuclear weapon could precipitate the use of a gigaton’s worth of nuclear arsenal being used, causing the collapse of civilization. “The public needs to be focused on asking our respective governments to lower the risk of nuclear war.”

Speaking at the UN, Hamasumi Jiro invokes the humanitarian cost of nuclear weapons — and the fading voices of survivors — as global powers continue to ignore the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. inkstickmedia.com/on-the-80th-...

We’ve seen the horror of #Hiroshima and #Nagasaki yet we allow ourselves to be held hostage by nine nuclear armed nations who have the equivalent of 146,605 Hiroshima-sized bombs (nearly 90% belong to 🇺🇸& 🇷🇺). Learn more at @banmonitor.bsky.social and @scientistsorg.bsky.social

The world urgently needs both Russia and the United States to take concrete steps to prevent a war of words from spiraling into actual conflict between two nuclear-armed countries. The stakes could not be higher. www.nti.org/news/stateme...

Trump’s announcement that he has ordered “two nuclear submarines” into position in response to Medvedev’s equally stupid statement is deeply irresponsible and reckless. It is unnecessary, escalates the situation, and shows Trump is unfit to be president. www.reuters.com/world/trump-...

Intentionally (or unintentionally) starving people or actually targeting people trying to feed their families is one of the cruelest and most sadistic things I can think of. Yes, I am talking about you Netanyahu and enablers. This policy is bad for #Israel, much worse for #Palestine.

A first-hand report from the site of the Nobel Laureate Assembly for the Prevention of Nuclear War, from Bulletin editor-in-chief @meckdevil.bsky.social.

The risk of nuclear war is increasing. #Nuclearweapons spending is rising and arsenals are being modernized and expanded. But this group of experts and Nobel laureates has a plan to reduce risks (and there is a role for the public): www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

“Civil society” means all of us. You, me, your family and friends. We need to turn up the pressure on policy makers. “…we call on scientists, academics, civil society, and communities of faith to help create the necessary pressure on global leaders to implement nuclear risk reduction measures.”

If carried out, DoD’s and DOE’s plans to operate, sustain, and modernize current US nuclear forces and purchase new forces would cost a total of $946 billion over the 2025–2034 period, or an average of about $95 billion a year. SOURCE: CBO www.cbo.gov/publication/...

We all have to tighten our belts and do with less but 🍊💩 is spending how much $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for a military parade on his birthday and a newly retrofitted airplane???? Something smells very rotten in the White House nest of 🐀….

Military spending rose in 2024 in all regions, mainly Europe (17%) & Middle East (15%). Top 20 spenders have all seen increases. Biggest increases in this group are those of Israel (+65%) explained by its ongoing genocide in Gaza, and Russia, +38% spurred by its invasion of Ukraine #GDAMS @sipri.org

To fully appreciate this decision, you need to understand that the US govt. has paid $1 (one dollar) for a 65-year lease to train with bombs, artillery, and other weapons of war on an area the size of Guam. BLNR halts Army lease extension at Pōhakuloa Training Area www.kitv.com/news/blnr-ha...
