As the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki looms and the world shuffles carelessly towards nuclear catastrophe, there’s this: US Strategic Bombing Survey July 1946: “Japan would have surrendered even if atomic bombs had not been dropped, even if Russia had not entered the war, and even if no invasion had been planned or contemplated. The Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs did not defeat Japan, nor by the testimony of the enemy leaders who ended the war did they persuade Japan to accept unconditional surrender.”

Tel Aviv won't sign up to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty because that would mean being open to inspection by the IAEA. a smelly dodge supported by US, UK (of course) and the increasingly warlike EU.
Israel—which does not publicly acknowledge possessing nuclear weapons—is also believed to be modernizing its nuclear arsenal and appears to be upgrading its plutonium production reactor site at Dimona. (SIPRI 2025)

That the Parliament recognises the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW), which was adopted by the UN in 2017, currently has 94 signatories and has been ratified by 73 states; notes that the third meeting of member state parties (3MSP), which aims to further promote nuclear non-proliferation, will take place at the UN headquarters in New York in March 2025; understands that the full Review Conference of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) will take place in New York in May 2025; further understands that, as a state party to the NPT, the UK is bound by article 6, which states that parties to the NPT must "pursue negotiations in good faith on effective measures relating to cessation of the nuclear arms race at an early date and to nuclear disarmament", and calls on the UK Government to attend the 3MSP in an observer capacity and uphold its commitment to the NPT, particularly with regard to article 6.
