#Trump reserves special animosity, though, for the leader of the country that was invaded in the first place. Trump has told aides repeatedly that #Zelensky is a “bad guy” who is edging the world to the precipice of #nuclear #war [a war started by #Putin & #Russia]. But he has at other times told advisers that it is understandable that Zelensky is fighting back, given that he is in a war against an enemy who seems determined to keep bombing Ukrainian cities.

The post broke a rare silence by #Trump on complex #InternationalAffairs. The statement was his first about Kyiv’s drone attack on airfields in #Russia, a stunning assault that hit #nuclear-capable bombers, revealing a significant vulnerability.

In what amounted to a strategic & symbolic blow, #Ukraine hid drones across Russia before attacking airfields in 5 regions stretching across 5 time zones. The attack cost about $7 billion in damage.

“The Pacific As A Fallout Sink In The Cold War”

"In ‘The Pacific,’ Bo explores how multiple nuclear weapon states used the Pacific Ocean as a fallout sink. Aware of the massive radioactive clouds yielded by thermonuclear weapons, the three NATO nuclear powers all chose to conduct their tests on Pacific atolls and islands. Rhetorically framed as an empty space, the Pacific Ocean would be utilized as a sink to absorb vast clouds of fallout particles. In this talk, Bo examines the where, what, and why of this history.”

Looking at some clothing in the archives today. Here's a jumpsuit worn by Thalia Campbell on the 1981 march from Wales to Greenham Common in protest at proposal to site cruise missiles at the US army base. She dyed it purple, inspired by the colours of the women's suffrage movement.
