5/7 - During the Cold War, the world had to learn the hard way that more or better nuclear weapons don't increase security but trigger responses that undermine it. It seems the world now has to learn the same lesson once again.

Much has been said recently about the “end of the old world order.” The #Greenland threats, speeches in #Davos, and the strain on multilateralism make many conclude that norms, and international law are replaced by raw power politics. Understnadable - but also superficial and incomplete.

This war makes fence-sitting no longer an option. Being neutral is not an option. After the U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, governments must answer a simple question: Are they for or against nuclear weapons?
