Since 1945 the world’s nine declared nuclear-armed states have amassed a firepower equivalent to 145,000 Hiroshima bombs – enough to destroy the world many times over.
In Britain, Prime Minister Starmer recently announced plans to spend an additional £15bn on developing submarine-launched nuclear warheads, as well as the purchase of F-35A fighters from the United States to enable the UK to re-introduce air-launched nuclear weapons. This, of course, brings the prospect of nuclear war measurably closer – all in the name of making Britain, in his words, “a battle-ready, armour-clad nation”...
while Trump and Putin engage in sabre-rattling (such a quaint expression) with weapons of mass destruction.
The only countries to abandon nuclear weapons have been three former republics of the USSR, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Belarus - plus South Africa.
CND was such a waste
of time and energy misplaced.
