Bombing a home to pieces is not the path to a peaceful or green world. Yet right now, there are 3844 nuclear warheads deployed worldwide with missiles and aircraft. That\u2019s ten nuclear warheads for every day of the year. Two thousand of these are ready for immediate launch and if that weren\u2019t enough, an additional ten thousand are stacked high in military stockpiles waiting to be used. Most of today\u2019s modern warheads are at least five times more powerful than those dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. My home town of Copenhagen is well within range of many of these missiles, like most other places. Casualties would be staggering. <\/p>\n\n
Missiles of particular note and concern stem from Russia, which has started deploying tactical nuclear warheads a step closer to Europe and into Belarus<\/a>, its close military ally ruled by \u201cEurope\u2019s last dictator\u201d<\/a>. This is especially alarming as it is the first time since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 for such weapons to be moved outside of Russia. This has led to the UN Disarmament chief<\/a> warning that the threat of nuclear weapons use is higher than at any time since the Cold War.<\/p>\n\n
