After New START expires, "Russian and American leaders will face no barriers whatsoever to the expansion" of their nuclear arsenals. "And from the look of things, both intend to seize that opportunity and increase the likelihood of Armageddon." @mklare1 https://t.co/UqjAxM3vVE

The United States has exercised a criminal overreach of power in Venezuela, the behavior of a country convinced of its ability to order the world according to its leaders' whims. Nuclear weapons underwrite this violent and unjust world order.

The U.S. public is tired of war, disgusted by the genocide, and sick of continued military adventurism. We've been flooding Congressional offices with emails. Now, we're circling the White House and Congress with mobile billboards.

For @jacobin, I addressed a recent article in @ForeignAffairs arguing that the U.S. should give nuclear weapons to Germany, Japan, and Canada:

"We should not let nuclear testing once again become part of nuclear-armed countries’ business as usual. A nuclear explosion is a nuclear explosion, and the fallout will be all of ours to deal with." @emmaclairefoley https://t.co/3W7pwDYxzG?

“How unconscionable is it to even think about testing those weapons again, when we know the damage that they cause?"

"A president seeking a Nobel Peace Prize would do well to try to get all nuclear-weapon nations to ratify the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty and the more recent Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons."

If one nuclear-armed government tests a nuclear weapon, others are far more likely to follow suit--leaving a toxic burden on people and environments around the world:

Contact your representatives now and urge them to say NO to new nuclear tests and NO to continued ICBM testing! https://t.co/K6dkvaHktm https://t.co/eBCOFuxBQS

Contact your reps now and ask them to say no to U.S. ICBM tests:

Trump's nuke test announcement was walked back, but the U.S. will test an unarmed intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) Tuesday night--an unnecessary show of force to maintain a weapon that experts agree makes everybody less safe.

Statements that raise the specter of a return to nuclear testing cannot go unchallenged, nor can the unchecked development of a new generation of nuclear weapons. @WilliamHartung

There truly are so many reasons conducting explosive nuclear tests is a bad, dangerous, destructive escalatory idea with no real benefit to anyone!

An optimistic read of the news that Trump wants to restart nuclear testing is that he's responding to Russia's Burevestnik test and isn't clear on the difference between a nuclear-armed and nuclear-powered missile, which is understandable and fine if you're not the US president

Drug trafficking claims were a big excuse for U.S. invasion of Panama in 1989. Dangerous playbook for attacking Venezuela. Sadly, the warmakers need a reason to use their $13.3 billion ship.
