We must unite to resist U.S.-led war as the world’s primary nuclear threat. This event aims to analyze current nuclear flashpoints in West Asia (US-Israel) against Iran and the Axis of Resistance, in Europe including U.S.-led wars in Ukraine and military alliances (NATO) against Russia, and in the myriad of US-led alliances, bases and exercises in the Asia Pacific (QUAD, AUKUS, JAKUS, JAPHUS) against China and the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea, while drawing parallels between historical U.S. nuclear aggression and today’s escalating arms race.

The U.S. currently leads a $1.7 trillion "modernization" program for its expanding arsenal, perpetuating global nuclear terror and environmental devastation. As the only nation to ever use nuclear weapons in war, its refusal to disarm undermines global security, pushing rivals to maintain their own arsenals in self-defense. Every voice raised against this threat is crucial in highlighting how U.S. imperialism holds the world hostage by nuclear blackmail.
