Earlier this week, the UK Chief of Defense Staff said that 'a third nuclear age is upon us'.
❔What does this mean?
❓How should policymakers and the public respond?

Under Trump, the US may return to full-scale explosive testing of nuclear weapons. It would be a lose-lose-lose for the US, the budding nuclear arms race, and humanity itself. My colleague Jenn Knox explains exactly why here: blog.ucsusa.org/jknox/we-nee...
We Need to Prevent a New Era of Nuclear Weapons Testing
The second Trump administration is likely to resume explosive nuclear weapons tests, but they are unnecessary and can have dire consequences that last for generations.

Russia issued a new nuclear policy document. Here is an illustration of the changes between the 2020 and 2024 texts relating to the conditions under which Russia might use nuclear weapons. I think its old wine in a new bottle.

New FOREVER WARS is about the gross spectacle of the Biden administration’s posture as a humanitarian actor in Gaza after granting Israel an impunity that extended to vetoing merely a *pause* in the bombing.
Veto Joe
Whatever the Biden administration sought this week for humanitarian aid to Gaza, they blocked a U.N. resolution demanding the violence pause in order to provide it.
