<\/a>Arms Control at Near-Standstill as Nuclear Threats Escalate<\/a>
<\/a>By Thalif Deen
UNITED NATIONS (IDN) \u2014 Amid growing nuclear threats from Russia and North Korea, the United Nations commemorated Disarmament Week beginning October 24, warning that weapons of mass destruction, in particular nuclear weapons, continue to be of primary concern, owing to their destructive power and the threat that they pose to humanity.But so far, they have been either empty threats or sabre rattling\u2014described as a flamboyant display of military power or aggressive blustering.\u00a0[2022-10-27-17]\u00a0\u00a0 |\u00a0JAPANESE <\/a>|\u00a0RUSSIAN<\/a>\uff5cFRENCH<\/a><\/th><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

LUND, Sweden (IDN) \u2014 In any body politic there will be a group of powerful people who, if not in the inner circle of the president or prime minister, can win access to it at regular intervals. Security is their profession, and they can be met at discrete academic conferences where they tend to stand out as rather earnest, if sombre, figures. [2022-10-25]<\/th><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/a>Looking Back on the Cuban Missile Crisis Of 60 Years Ago<\/a>

NEW YORK (IDN) \u2014 October 16 marks 60 years since the Cuban missile crisis\u2014the 13-day standoff between the United States and the Soviet Union widely regarded as the closest we ever came to global nuclear war. On this anniversary, as we veer terrifyingly close to the brink of Armageddon once again, we should look to that crisis to guide us in resolving our present one. [2022-10-16]<\/th><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Viewpoint by Norman Solomon
SAN FRANCISO (IDN) \u2014 This is an emergency.Right now, we\u2019re closer to a cataclysmic nuclear war than at any other time since the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. One assessment<\/a> after another<\/a> has said the current situation is even more dangerous.Yet few members of Congress are advocating for any steps that the U.S. government could take to decrease the dangers of a nuclear conflagration. The silences and muted statements on Capitol Hill are evading the reality of what\u2019s hanging in the balance\u2014the destruction of almost all human life on Earth. \u201cThe end of civilization<\/a>.\u201d  [2022-10-13]<\/th><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/a>Ukraine War Stresses the Need for Abolishing Nuclear Weapons<\/a>
<\/a>Viewpoint by Jonathan Power
LUND, Sweden (IDN) \u2014 We were standing in Hiroshima looking at a stonewall. All there was to see was a shadow of a man. It had been etched into the wall at the moment of his obliteration by the blinding light of the first atomic bomb. Olof Palme, prime minister of Sweden, stared hard at it. An hour later, he had to give a speech as head of the Independent Commission on Disarmament, of which I was a member. “My fear”, he remarked, “is that mankind itself will end up as nothing more than a shadow on a wall.”  [2022-10-12]<\/th><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/a>What If Russia Unleashes a Less Deadly Weapon on Ukraine?<\/a>
<\/a>By Thalif Deen
UNITED NATIONS (IDN) \u2014 Russia’s military setbacks in Ukraine have triggered widespread speculation in the US that Russian President Vladimir Putin may unleash his stockpile of “tactical nuclear weapons”, which may be less devastating than the deadly US weapons that destroyed the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki back in August 1945. [2022-10-06-16] GERMAN<\/a> | JAPANESE<\/a> | RUSSIAN<\/a> | TURKISH<\/a><\/th><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
