Attention to Nuclear Weapons

THOSE who fear for the future of our planet understandably focus on global

heating, biodiversity loss, autonomous weapons and an unsustainable and
unequal economic system. But there remains far too little attention to the
nuclear threat on our doorsteps. That threat of nuclear conflagration has
edged a little closer this past week, highlighting both the dangerous
fiction of “deterrence” as a guarantor of security and how preparing
for war to protect peace can head rapidly in the wrong direction. There has
been little in the mainstream media over the past few days on the nuclear
strike training taking place over European skies – which still includes
Scotland, despite our lack of a seat around any of the tables that
influence or decide these things.
