UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres advocated for the total elimination of nuclear weapons while speaking at a United Nations meeting.

The U.S. has warned the Kremlin of the devastating consequences Russia would face should nuclear weapons be used in Ukraine, national security adviser Jake Sullivan said Sunday.
Recent battlefield losses prompted Putin to call up 300,000 civilians last week while making barely veiled threats of using his nuclear arsenal. The U.S. government responded by saying such a move would have "catastrophic consequences'' for Russia.
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he does not believe Putin was bluffing when he said last week that he would be justified in using any force necessary — implying tactical nuclear weapons are not off the table. "He wants to scare the whole world," Zelenskyy said. "I think the world is deterring it and containing this threat. We need to keep putting pressure on him."

Does truth and God go together? When Jesus died on the cross was it just a big lie? Having self-evidence in our inalienable rights do we need truth in knowing who we are or can we make it up as we go along. In politics today God is being misrepresented so much killing God is not hard to do. Does the human race need God?
@trail mark It does.
@Justin Wheeler No they are religions.

If the American people do not want war, Russia and Ukraine, then America, as one of the major powers, must, Stop the fire actions, Sit in a place at the negotiating table of Russia and Ukraine, gather all the members of the OSCE, this is all that needs to be supported by the peoples of America themselves, inside their country, and close their eyes for a while to their internal petty problems, confrontations.
If you want to change something change they way you think…….
We should try to reduce the amount of nukes we have mutually, but the idea we will ever get rid of them all together 😂
I really don’t want to be insulting but the people who belive that are the deranged ones
The removal of nukes creates a valid first strike option for the not so honest, and I hate to be the bearer of bad news but there’s alot of dishonest people out there.
Humans have always needed a rough parity in capabilities between groups or nations, if one tribe had more warriors or better weaponry it would take over the other by force. Only when two tribes had parity in their capabilities could peace and co operations happen, the mutually assurared destruction principle has been around 100,000s of years in one form or another, without it there is only chaos
