26 September: International Day against nuclear weapons

... 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.” http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/06/washington-is-beating-war-drums.html “... 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.” http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/06/are-you-ready-for-nuclear-war.html “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.” http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/09/cold-war-20-us-to-renew-nuclear-arsenal.html “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.” http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/07/cia-interrupts-info-about-secret.html “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.” http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/07/cold-war-20-uk-to-renew-its-trident.html “... 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.” http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/08/are-we-playing-their-game.html “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.” http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/07/cold-war-20-old-school-behind-it.html “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.” http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/09/cold-war-20-chinas-moves-to-avoid.html “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.” http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/06/bilderbergers-aim-for-end-game-in-russia.html
