Nuclear Annihilation Is Closer Than Ever Before. This Is Crazy.

Originally published on Feb 27, 2025.
The scariest thing about the West at the moment is that Europe and the US seem to have lost all fear of nuclear weapons when, in fact, the danger of one little mistake to end the world has never been greater. The danger that nuclear weapons pose is larger than climate change, viruses, and a AI gone crazy COMBINED. Why are our leaders not worried, especially after the last 3 years of constant super power escalation?

Here with me to discuss this are three wonderful guests. I‘ve got with me:

Governor Jerry Brown, the 34th and 39th governor of the state of California. We are also joined by William D. Hartung, a Fellow at the Quincy Institute and the previous director of the Arms and Security Program at the Center for International Policy. And last but jot least Cynthia Lazaroff is with us, a Documentary Filmmaker & Founder of U.S.-Russian exchange initiatives and NuclearWakeUpCall.Earth

This panel was convened by Katrina vanden Heuvel the President of the American Committee for US-Russia Accord and and former editor of The Nation magazine. Find there work here: https://usrussiaaccord.org
