...
but things are looking really bad in the new Cold War
“Friday,
26th September marks the first ever Day for the Total Elimination of
Nuclear Weapons as decreed by the United Nations General Assembly and
events are being organised around the world by anti-nuclear networks
such as UNFOLD ZERO and ICAN (the International Campaign Against
Nuclear Weapons).”
“Alyn
Ware, Right Livelihood Laureate and co-founder of the UNFOLD ZERO
campaign said, ‘There are over 16,000 nuclear weapons in the world.
The use of any nuclear weapon by accident, miscalculation or intent
would create catastrophic human, environmental and financial
consequences. There should be zero nuclear weapons in the world.’”

“US war doctrine has been
changed. US nuclear weapons are no longer restricted to a
retaliatory force, but have been elevated to the role of
preemptive nuclear attack.”
“...
Washington thinks nuclear war can be won and is planning for a
first strike on Russia, and perhaps China, in order to prevent any
challenge to Washington’s world hegemony.”
“The
United States plans to spend more than $1 trillion to revitalize
its antiquated nuclear arsenal over the next three decades,
according to a new report.”
“The
Washington Post has published an exclusive report about the US
National Security Agency’s surveillance activities, but withheld
information of 'considerable intelligence value,' including a
secret overseas nuclear project.”
“A
British cross-party commission has voted in favor of keeping the
Trident nuclear missile system, saying nuclear weapons could deter
threats to UK's security.”
“... such
an "official channel" may inject information inside the
web, the information goes viral, and finally, people will start to
get used to the idea of even the most terrifying scenarios, like
those of a nuclear conflict, or, radical population control.”
“Under
the pretext of responding to a federal budget sequestration, the
CSIS study suggests the United States 'maintain its full triad of
bombers, submarines, and intercontinental ballistic missiles meant
to deter or carry out nuclear warfare' as emphasis shifts from the
Middle East to an ultimate confrontation with Russia and China.”
“Connor
added Moscow and Beijing are committed to have an undersea nuclear
deterrent capability with a strong naval component.”
“Chinese
officials believe Washington is seeking an excuse to upgrade the
country’s nuclear arsenal.”
“I
have a very difficult time believing that the Russians or the
Chinese are going to jump the gun as far as military actions are
concerned. They understand what the stakes are, because the next
war, if there is a war, is not going to be fought with tactical
weapons, it is going to be a thermonuclear war, which very well
could be the end of civilization.”
