Great piece by @olamidediy.bsky.social on the implications for the non-proliferation regime of the latest attempt at preventive counterproliferation strikes.

www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...
The attacks on Iran didn’t achieve anything more than harm nonproliferation
The conclusion many states may now draw is that complying with the NPT is no longer a guarantee of nuclear security.

Once seen as a symbolic protest, the nuclear ban treaty is growing teeth
New measures show the TPNW is becoming a major diplomatic forum for questioning the logic of nuclear deterrence.

The TPNW shows "a willingness to confront the uncomfortable truths about nuclear weapons, from their humanitarian consequences to the fragility of deterrence itself" @bulletinatomic.bsky.social @olamidediy.bsky.social

"Rather than accepting a world perpetually held hostage by the madness of nuclear deterrence, they are asserting that the security of nations - and of peoples - is best served by dismantling this threat to humanity."

"Europe now faces a choice: to cling to Cold War relics while the planet burns, or to pioneer a security paradigm prioritising planetary survival over great-power vanity."

@olamidediy.bsky.social wrote an interesting article I recommend reading. You might not agree, but the different nuclear doctrines between the West and Russia are enough of a keypoint here to rethink nuclear deterrence for EU

Re-sharing this article co-authored with @olamidediy.bsky.social .
On Feb 13-14, a Russian UAV hit the NSC at #Chornobyl. Meanwhile, Israeli officials continue to discuss strikes on Iran’s #nuclear infrastructure - possibly with US support.
