Heading to Japan with The Elders, commemorating 80 years since the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Here’s a crucial reminder on the enduring threat posed by nuclear weapons – and what must be done to reduce the risk: theelders.org/news/nuclear...
Funny story about meeting Zedillo back when he was president of Mexico. I had several sniper rifles directed at me while I *slowly* raised my hand to shake his. You see, his predecessor had been assassinated, and even though the event was in San Diego they were taking no chances! (No one was shot)🫣
😢
What do you think should be done to reduce the risk of nuclear military actions? Get on the phone or e-mail and tell you reps in DC. It only takes a few minutes and it doesn't cost any money. We don't need money in politics. We just need people to participate. www.nationalfinancialplan.co
Not according to the muskovite. He thinks it's not a big deal, because those cities recovered, not a big deal, really. Do any of those crazy video games he plays have atomic bombs in them?
On January 28, 2025, the #DoomsdayClock said we are 89 seconds to Midnight (ie, Doomsday). The announcement was made only a few days after DJT returned to office. Since then, I can't help but worry that we may be several seconds closer to Midnight. thebulletin.org/doomsday-clo...
The real danger isn't as obvious. It's some private individual or group that aqquires a nuclear warhead from the black market. We've been fortunate that no countries have blown each other up so far because they understand the consequences for them and their people A wildcard terrorist doesn't care
You mean someone like Trump?
Your point is valid. Though "The real danger..." would more accurately be changed to "An additional danger...". Because the mere existence of these weapons in governments' arsenals is clearly a substantial and massive hazard. Their proliferation to additional nations being another.
This is the first of my "No Kings in America" protest songs with the unimaginative name of "June 14th". Please share as much as possible. Thank you. youtu.be/3NzguKlY2Kk?...
Maybe heading over to Pakistan and/or India would be more prudent. 🙄

Much respect, Sir Richard. We must do all we can to reduce the risk posed by nuclear weapons.
mportant reminder of the ongoing threat nuclear weapons pose. It's crucial we continue advocating for peace and disarmament. Thank you for bringing attention to this vital issue!
Maybe you could show us the way by giving away 60 or 80 million dollars, rich man.
Only our very own idiot in chief and now vlad even suggest the use of nukes to get their way. Of course, our idjit wanted to nuke hurricanes, but that's another story.
Peace, Democracy and an understanding and acknowledgement of our individual differences.
Get rid off Putin, would be a good start.
I’m not here to sing the praises of nuclear weapons, but every non-nuclear country has learned the same lesson from Ukraine: 1. Get nukes 2. Keep nukes Nuclear nonproliferation as a security/national security policy is, for now, dead.
You are correct. Though the character limit disallows you to note other, better lessons to learn here. But a hyper-majority of humanity exhibits varying degrees of difficulty embracing reason. Including better lessons than your accurate (if incomplete) assessment.
What would be the title of your paper on the best lesson?
1/6 The second best compliment I have ever received is someone remarking, 'I can never tell what is going to come out of your mouth.' So, in that spirit:
2/6 I perused your social media feed before answering. And my cursory analysis suggests that it seems a fait accompli someone reposting Andy Borowitz - as you recently did - would excel at short humor in their own creative posts. You may have noticed I tapped the like button on several.
3/6 As Shakespeare instructed Polonius to declare in Hamlet, "Brevity is the soul of wit." If your wit was any more succinct, no one would even know you exist. Well done.....and under appreciated. Also, your posts remind that humor exists largely because we humans are so absurd.
4/6 Now to specifically answer your question.....almost. You are also to be applauded for even asking. Curiosity is a too rare marque of intellect. I know only *some* of the best lessons. Curiosity - such as yours - helps to discover ever better lessons and solutions.
5/6 Caring to even show up to discuss such an important topic - as you have - is another great lesson. My current understanding of *one* of the best lessons regarding the existence, use, and proliferation of nuclear weapons?
6/6 Mine is a relatively rational premise our largely irrational species, naturally, almost unanimously rejects. Often even derogating the nearly non-existent few social critics suggesting such a title: "It Seems Unethical For A Species Possessing Weapons Of Mass Destruction To Reproduce."
You have been very generous in your assessment of my posts. I’m new to social media and use it mostly for cathartic venting into the void. As for WMD nonproliferation, I wholeheartedly join you in your wish to live in that parallel universe in which ethics is a part of human nature.
✌️💛✌️
Moskow must be defeated once and for all.
Now more than ever, with Pakistan and India talking about war.
Appropriate timing as India and Pakistan are both nuclear nations... We need to ensure that ALL nations have the right to exist, but NONE have the right to end all life on Earth.
Good

Individually, almost all our species exhibits poor discernment. Collectively, all of us do. Yet another opportunity to reverse such unfortunate statistics attached. But caution! This is a seductive gateway drug to reason, rather than merely going along with most of humanity. www.wagingpeace.org
/ sarc on Nuclear weapons pose a danger? They sure about that? Might be deep state propaganda and fake news. Do your own research. /sarc off
They are TRYING to blow us all up!
Sometimes, they are the problem. Mostly, we are.
Warn India & Pakistan….!!!
