Thu 19 Feb: Webinar – How the US is fuelling the nuclear arms race

Join New Internationalist and CND for this webinar to discuss the pivotal role the US plays in the escalation of nuclear tensions worldwide.

Like other nuclear-armed states the US has been ramping up spending on nuclear weapons at a time when it should be prioritising the material needs of its citizens and investing in combating the climate crisis.

The US can project its nuclear threat globally – far beyond its borders. It already has nuclear weapons stationed in several European countries, including Britain. These deployments, whilst presented as offering shared security for host countries actually increase the risk of them becoming targets in the event of conflict.

What does all this mean for global security and what are the threats to the national sovereignty of other countries? And what can we do to push for global security and nuclear disarmament?

To discuss these questions and more New Internationalist co-editor Amy Hall will be joined by Sophie Bolt, Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND); Helen Jaccard, Veterans For Peace; Ludo Brabander, Vrede; and Dae-Han Song, International Strategy Center, No Cold War Collective, Korea Policy Institute.
