At @fightingdirty.bsky.social, we sued over this issue, and lost on the grounds that the Environment Agency couldn't be in breach because the government had issued no direction. An absurdity, which means that poisons continue to be spread on farmland every day. 🧵

Apparently letting a country that gave up nukes be invaded will lead other countries to decide they better have nukes cos they won't believe your promises that they don't need nukes.

In the years since, the United States spent roughly $10 trillion on the so-called "war on terror."
Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds in climate, health care, housing, and education?

The 3 objectives of Trump/Vance planned verbal attack on Zelensky in the Oval Office are clear:
1) humiliate Zelensky 2) make Putin happy, and crucially 3) stop military support to 🇺🇦 by blaming Zelensky for “not wanting peace” and for WW3.

Ukraine gave up nuclear arms (Belarus, Kazakhstan, South Africa too) in 1996.
Received security guarantees from US, Russia, UK, France, China.
Russia attacked it, US wants its wealth, China is silent, UK/France can't defend it.
What are security guarantees worth?
More countries will go nuclear.
