The person with the idea of US taking control of #Ukraine’s #nuclearpower plants is Putin.

Putin’s only fear is that Ukraine develops #nuclearweapons. They could use the plutonium produced by their 3 remaining nuclear plants to do that.

Plutonium bombs arent the most effective nuclear devices. But its simpler tech and extraction from spent nuclear fuel is easier.

Ukraine no longer has NATO option, so it needs nukes to deter Russia from attacking.

#Putin plays #Trump like a fiddle.

"Donald Trump has laid down a Ukraine-like ultimatum to Iran: either agree to give up your nuclear program within two months or suffer the consequences. He’s been vague about what these consequences might include, but I can now report specifics that are as severe as you can imagine.

“We can't let them have a nuclear weapon,” Trump says. “I would rather have a peace deal than the other option but the other option will solve the problem.”

To the casual observer that might sound like more of the targeted airstrikes the U.S. has been doing, but behind the scenes, as the Pentagon prepares for a "major" regional war with Iran, the use of nuclear weapons is on the table.

The new Iran war preparations that have been underway since last year include new nuclear options.

“One might find it extraordinary to think that nuclear weapons are even considered,” a retired senior military officer who has been briefed on the planning tells us, “but we have entered a new era.”

The officer says that a combination of factors — none of them precipitated by Donald Trump directly — have created a perfect storm to bring nuclear weapons back into the picture."

Nuclear abolitionists met at the UN on the Prohibition of #NuclearWeapons #TPNW. While 94 countries support the treaty, the U.S. and other nuclear powers persist in their deterrence policies.

The TPNW is gaining support, especially in the Global South, where it could improve health and the environment. Activists emphasize the need for support for those affected by nuclear testing, arguing that conventional weapons are already devastating enough.
