Lead­ers on all sides are pur­su­ing poli­cies in­ex­orably dri­ving us to­wards nu­clear war. They must step back. Now.

As world lead­ers gath­er to dis­cuss se­cur­ing fis­sile ma­te­ri­als, nu­clear ar­se­nals re­main the ele­phant in the room.

Re­cent flur­ry of in­ter­na­tion­al meet­ings have ad­vanced co­op­er­a­tion be­tween coun­tries more than threats of war.

The UK could be a world leader by get­ting rid of their nu­clear ar­se­nal.

As the British gov­ern­ment looks to cut its spend­ing, lit­tle sense ex­ists in de­vel­op­ing a new Nu­clear weapons pro­gram.

Pre­ven­ta­tive diplo­mat­ic ac­tion is need­ed to halt nu­clear pro­lif­er­a­tion and en­sure dis­ar­ma­ment of WMD in the Mid­dle East.

NATO’s core func­tion is still to ad­vance US glob­al in­ter­ests and for­eign pol­i­cy goals.

The West can­not ig­nore its own dis­ar­ma­ment oblig­a­tions if it wants to see peace­ful­ness tri­umph over war­mon­ger­ing.
