August 12, 2025 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. Featured Campaign, Podcast - Clearing The FOG GI Resistance, Hiroshima, ICE, Nagasaki, Nuclear War, Nuclear Weapons, US military

This past week marked the 80th anniversary of the US bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Clearing the FOG speaks with Gerry Condon, a past president of Veterans for Peace and a lifelong GI resister, about the myths of the US atomic bombing of Japan and the costs of nuclear weapons, including the environmental contamination from the nuclear chain and testing. Condon warns that the risk of nuclear war is higher than ever. He also speaks about resistance to nuclear weapons and his current work on the anti-nuclear boat, The Golden Rule. And Condon discusses the surge in active duty members who are joining Veterans for Peace in opposition to the genocide in Palestine and the domestic deployment of the military to assist ICE in the detention of immigrants and US citizens.

Government Officials Who Push Button Of Nuclear Weapons Will Die First, As They Should

For the past five days I have been in Hiroshima, Japan speaking at a conference on the 80th Anniversary of the horrific and unnecessary U.S. atomic bombing of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We have now travelled to Nagasaki to participate in an international conference there and the commemoration of the August 9 atomic bombing of that city. Archived documents reveal that the Japanese government was going to surrender. The decision of the Truman administration to go ahead and incinerate with atomic bombs 210,000 citizens of two Japanese cities as a warning to the Soviet Union was a war crime of the highest degree.

Solidarity And Actions By US Civil Society For A Nuclear Free World

August 5, 2025 Colonel (Ret) Ann Wright, Popular Resistance. Resist! Nuclear Ban Treaty, Nuclear Disarmament, Nuclear War, Nuclear Weapons

As this is the commemoration of horrific deaths and wounding of hundreds of thousands of people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki 80 years ago in 1945, as an American citizen, I offer my profound apologies to the families of those killed in Japan Japanese, Koreans and other nationalities including the U.S. Prisoners of War who were there. An to Marshallese and US “downwinders” who suffered from US testing of atomic and nuclear weapons, for the criminal actions of my government in using these weapons of mass destruction. I also apologize to the Vietnamese delegation at the conference for the U.S. dropping millions of gallons of Agent Orange and leaving tons of unexploded ordnance in Viet Nam.

Stop Netanyahu Before He Gets Us All Killed

June 17, 2025 Jeffrey D. Sachs, Consortium News. Educate! Benjamin Netanyahu, Iran, Israel, Israeli Imperialism, Nuclear War, Palestine, Wars and Militarism

For nearly 30 years, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has driven the Middle East into war and destruction. The man is a powder keg of violence. Throughout all the wars that he has championed, Netanyahu [who is wanted by the International Criminal Court] has always dreamed of the big one: to defeat and overthrow the Iranian government. His long-sought war, just launched, might just get us all killed in a nuclear Armageddon, unless Netanyahu is stopped. Netanyahu’s fixation on war goes back to his extremist mentors, Ze’ev Jabotinsky, Yitzhak Shamir and Menachem Begin.

Playing With Fire

June 2, 2025 Scott Ritter, Real Scott Ritter. Educate! Nuclear War, Russia, Ukraine, Wars and Militarism

In 2020 Russia published, for the first time, an unclassified version of its nuclear doctrine. The document, called “Basic Principles of State Policy of the Russian Federation on Nuclear Deterrence,” noted that Russia “reserves the right to use nuclear weapons” when Moscow is acting “in response to the use of nuclear and other types of weapons of mass destruction against it and/or its allies, as well as in the event of aggression against the Russian Federation with the use of conventional weapons when the very existence of the state is in jeopardy.” The document also stated that Russia reserved the right to use nuclear weapons in case of an “attack by [an] adversary against critical governmental or military sites of the Russian Federation, disruption of which would undermine nuclear forces response actions.”

Pentagon Strategy Increases Risk Of Nuclear War With China

May 15, 2025 K. J. Noh, BreakThrough News. Resistance Report China, Nuclear War, Pentagon, Russia

China and Russia released a joint declaration on the need for global strategic stability, which included an explicit condemnation of the US's nuclear counterforce strategy. Historian Peter Kuznik and filmmaker Regis Tremblay join us to discuss the risks of nuclear war in the current moment and the historical implications of the Russia-China alliance. Our understanding of China — and U.S.-China relations — has become a defining feature of all global politics. The China Report is a new show produced in collaboration with Pivot to Peace where every week, we will be helping you through all the propaganda with an independent view of the country we are taught to hate, but know so little about.

Nuclear Threat Beneath The Seas

April 3, 2025 Lynda Williams, Popular Resistance. Educate! Arms Race, Nuclear War, Nuclear Weapons, Pacific

Right now, beneath the world’s oceans, approximately 30 nuclear-armed submarines patrol silently, virtually undetectable. These submarines represent humanity’s deadliest doomsday machines: stealthy, always on alert, and capable of launching thousands of nuclear warheads at a moment’s notice. At any given time, an estimated 10 to 15 of them are deployed, carrying roughly 500 to 900 warheads—enough to kill hundreds of millions and trigger a nuclear winter with potentially irreversible global consequences. With this capacity to destroy life on Earth many times over, the world’s nuclear states aren’t scaling back — they’re building more, pushing the Doomsday Clock ever closer to midnight.

City Asked To Support Policies To Defuse Threat Of Nuclear War

April 3, 2025 Bill Christofferson, Shepherd Express. Resist! Anti-war Movement, Hair Trigger Alert, Milwaukee, Nuclear War, Wisconsin

From start to finish, a nuclear war could last only 72 minutes, killing five billion people, destroying the climate and civilization, perhaps the entire planet. It’s a chilling thought, which explains why most people choose not to think about it. Others are moved to do something to try to prevent that, no matter how uphill the struggle or how long the odds of eliminating nuclear weapons and the existential threat they pose. In Milwaukee, a coalition of 18 peace, justice, environment, religious and community organizations is urging the city’s government to take a stand and call for some common-sense national policies to reduce the threat.

CND Slams Labour’s Nuclear Rhetoric Ahead Of Major Protest

As CND prepares for its national demonstration at the BAE Shipyard, Barrow-in-Furness, on Saturday 22 March, the government is ramping up nuclear threats to prop up Britain’s failing nuclear weapons programme and justify military spending hikes in next week’s Spring Statement. The recent visit to the BAE Shipyard in Barrow and nuclear base at Faslane by Keir Starmer and John Healey, saw the Defence Secretary claim the weapons could do “untold damage” against countries like Russia in the event of a conflict. It was also announced that the Port of Barrow, which has built submarines for Britain’s nuclear weapons programme since the 1950s, will be given royal status.

Ukraine, Diplomacy And War

March 5, 2025 Craig Murray, Consortium News. Educate! Donald Trump, European Union (EU), Nuclear War, Russia, Ukraine, Wars and Militarism

When politicians in power are extremely unpopular, they generally turn to militarism and jingoism for a quick boost. Keir Starmer is now the darling of the U.K. media for his sabre-rattling over Ukraine and the prime minister is busily churning out tweets of military imagery. In doing so he is attempting to pose as in defiance of Donald Trump and capitalise on the U.S. president’s unpopularity in the U.K., even though he was just last week fawning over Trump in the White House and inviting him on an “unprecedented” second State visit. As ever, there is a great deal of smoke and mirrors here. The European leaders are going to come up with an alternative “peace plan” to present to Trump.

Remembering Nuclear Victims 71 Years After The Castle Bravo Test

March 1, 2025 Gerry Condon and Helen Jaccard, Popular Resistance. Educate! Castle Bravo Nuclear Tests, Nuclear War, Nuclear Weapons, Veterans for Peace

Between 1946 and 1958 the U.S. detonated 67 nuclear weapons in the Marshall Islands. The blasts vaporized whole islands, carved craters into the shallow lagoons, and exiled hundreds of people from their homes. The Castle Bravo blast was the largest of all, sending particulate and gaseous fallout around the entire planet. We published this article on the 70th anniversary last year in LA Progressive. What was once called Castle Bravo Day is now called Nuclear Victims Remembrance Day – a day to remember the many people who have suffered untold pain, sickness, death and environmental damage resulting from the entire nuclear cycle.

The Pentagon Is Recruiting Elon Musk To Help Win A Nuclear War

February 11, 2025 Alan MacLeod, MintPress News. Educate! Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Nuclear War, Nuclear Weapons, Pentagon, SpaceX, US Imperialism

Donald Trump has announced his intention to build a gigantic anti-ballistic missile system to counter Chinese and Russian nuclear weapons, and he is recruiting Elon Musk to help him. The Pentagon has long dreamed of constructing an American “Iron Dome.” The technology is couched in the defense language – i.e., to make America safe again. But like its Israeli counterpart, it would function as an offensive weapon, giving the United States the ability to launch nuclear attacks anywhere in the world without having to worry about the consequences of a similar response.

Scott Ritter Lobbies At The Capitol To Avert Nuclear War

December 8, 2024 Joe Lauria, Consortium News. Resist! NATO, Nuclear War, Russia, Ukraine, US Imperialism, Wars and Militarism, WWIII

Scott Ritter, the former U.S. Marine counterintelligence officer and chief U.N. weapons inspector joined forces with Medea Benjamin and Code Pink to lobby members of the U.S. Hose of Representatives to urgently act to head off what could be impending nuclear war with Russia. Ritter laid out the immediate peril the world faces, which is being dangerously ignored by most of the U.S. government and establishment media. That’s because U.S. intelligence services have foolishly concluded that Russia is bluffing, Ritter argued.

Congress Must Prevent Nuclear War

December 4, 2024 Scott Ritter, Consortium News. Resist! NATO, Nuclear War, Russia, US Congress, Wars and Militarism

Congress can be somewhat intimidating to the uninitiated—a literal shining house on a hill, where the empowered elite gather in chambers to debate the finer points of issues that impact our daily lives. What is sometimes overlooked by the average citizen is that the vehicle of empowerment that allows these anointed lawmakers to take their seats in these chambers is themselves — every two years these representatives of the people must stand muster before their respective constituents and convince enough of them to cast a vote in their favor.

There’s No Upside To Trump

December 4, 2024 Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. Educate! climate crisis, Donald Trump, Joe Biden, Nuclear War, Ukraine, Wars and Militarism

“Trump could surprise on the upside,” writes Edward Luce, who claims to know “what Trump most cares about.” Lacking intimate knowledge of the inner workings of the president-elect’s personal thoughts, us non-pundits are relegated to looking at other indicators. We can try to decipher Trump’s abysmal cabinet picks. “If Trump has nominated second-tier establishment types for powerful positions that is partly because so many of the more accomplished practitioners have migrated to the Democrats,” according to a London Review of Books commentator.
