The original version of #Threads not harrowing enough for you?
I didn't want to sleep at night ever again either. #NuclearWar #adolescence
The American government is more predictable than the laws of nature. They threat a country when they were the same people retreated from the previous agreement...
"US President Donald Trump is “seriously considering” Iran’s offer of indirect nuclear talks – but at the same time is beefing up forces in the region for a potential escalation, according to sources cited by Axios on 2 April."

Watched "The Missiles of October" over the weekend and found two and a half hours of men sitting in a room, talking, riveting.
Adapted from JFK's book, the Kennedys are portrayed as concerned about how the US, the leader of the Free World, will look if it attacks a small Caribbean country. No mention is made of the CIA engineered coup in Honduras during Eisenhower's administration.
Now watching some very funny comedy.
Check your local library for the DVD.

"Donald Trump has laid down a Ukraine-like ultimatum to Iran: either agree to give up your nuclear program within two months or suffer the consequences. He’s been vague about what these consequences might include, but I can now report specifics that are as severe as you can imagine.
“We can't let them have a nuclear weapon,” Trump says. “I would rather have a peace deal than the other option but the other option will solve the problem.”
To the casual observer that might sound like more of the targeted airstrikes the U.S. has been doing, but behind the scenes, as the Pentagon prepares for a "major" regional war with Iran, the use of nuclear weapons is on the table.
The new Iran war preparations that have been underway since last year include new nuclear options.
“One might find it extraordinary to think that nuclear weapons are even considered,” a retired senior military officer who has been briefed on the planning tells us, “but we have entered a new era.”
The officer says that a combination of factors — none of them precipitated by Donald Trump directly — have created a perfect storm to bring nuclear weapons back into the picture."

Trump is a fool so enormous, he may be the guy to start a nuclear war.

MIT Professor and Pentagon advisor Ted Postol presents the threat of nuclear war that is increasingly ignored, and the insanity of the US plan to deploy nuclear weapons in Germany.
If you do one thing today, please watch this talk.
Today I'm looking back fondly on my idyllic childhood and having to watch "The Day After"[1983] as a homework assignment.
Forty years on, #Threads has lost none of its dramatic power. Its shocking depiction of the aftermath of a #nuclear attack sears itself into your mind.
Last night I showed Threads to my #GenZ daughter for the first time. As Russia withdraws from its nuclear non-proliferation treaties and now France proposes expanding its nuclear umbrella, the message of Threads is unfortunately as relevant now as it was in 1984.
A long read but, imo, a *very* worthwhile opportunity for enlightenment!

Fun with the internet archive: cheesy govt PSA short films.
All the "experts" they say are going to be helping you navigate fallout and radiation risks were...defunded and disbanded a long time ago, not to mention what's happening to the remaining agencies now. Just saying.
Also, most houses built today no longer have basements, so....

"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. This power could upend the fragile peace maintained by decades of mutually assured destruction, a doctrine that has underpinned global stability since the 1940s."

Today in Labor History February 21, 1958: The CND symbol (aka peace symbol) was designed and completed by Gerald Holtom. The Direct Action Committee (DAC) commissioned the project in protest against the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment. The DAC was a British pacifist organization that did non-violent direct action whose goal was the total renunciation of nuclear war and nuclear weapons. It existed from 1957 to 1961. They organized meetings, marches, vigils, pickets and acts of civil disobedience.
