The terrifying start to the New Year shows how important it is to build the movement for peace and a nuclear-free world.
Following months of a huge US military build-up on the coast of Caracas, including the deployment of nuclear-capable B52 long-range bombers, President Trump has launched an illegal attack on Venezuela, in direct violation of the UN Charter and undermining the 1967 nuclear-free zone Treaty of Tlatelolco.
In the Middle East, nuclear-armed Israel continues to kill Palestinians in Gaza. In Europe, the UK government has recklessly proposed to deploy troops in Ukraine – the most serious nuclear flashpoint in the world today and is continuing to push its ‘war-ready’ agenda here in Britain. In light of these dangerous developments, it is absolutely critical that we grow the opposition to war, genocide, and nuclear weapons.
