A new video from @Kurz_Gesagt lays out how a nuclear war could start. World leaders need to recognize security cannot be based on weapons of mass destruction, and work together to reach global zero. We cannot count on luck forever. youtube.com/watch?v=wmP3MBjs…

78 years ago today the US first use of the atomic bomb brought unparalleled devastation to the people of #Hiroshima. We must act to make sure no one ever experiences such catastrophe again. The only way to do that is to eliminate every last nuclear weapon.

#Oppenheimer helped usher in a perilous age of nuclear violence. We can resign ourselves to the growing risks of nuclear use while frontline communities bear the burden of their development, maintenance and use. Or we can work collectively to build a safer future beyond the bomb.

Nuclear weapons create an ever-present threat to people and the planet. From their development, to their storage, to their use, nuclear weapons have caused a negative impact to the world's oceans. Abolishing them is the only way to ensure that stops in our lifetime.

Russia's suspension of New START - the only remaining agreement limiting US and Russian nuclear arsenals - was another step in a dangerous direction. The two sides must cooperate on efforts to restore key agreements and avoid an unrestrained arms race.
A graphic reads: It is vital that Russia return to full implementation of New START and negotiate a new agreement with the US that further reduces the number of nuclear weapons in the world before the treaty expires in 2026. Learn more at global zero.org, and take action to support New START.

A graphic reads: "Nuclear weapons have the undisputed capacity to destroy vaster numbers of human lives with longer-lasting deleterious genetic and ecological effects than any other weapon invented by humankind. Their continued existence even in small numbers is an unacceptable risk of their inevitable use by accident or design."
