Abstract

Nuclear weapons, mankind’s most harmful invention, are back in our minds and hearts. There is an increased interest and fear at a global scale about the risk of their use, especially after the recent wars in Ukraine and Gaza. The topic was amplified for the public by the blockbuster Openheimer, the Fallout TV Programme, and the bestselling book Nuclear War : A scenario.

The UN General Secretary Antonio Guterres posted on X ,in March this year, “A nuclear war must never be waged — because a nuclear war can never be won. I have urged the Security Council to state clearly that living with the existential threat of nuclear weapons is unacceptable, and to lead the way to a world free of these instruments of annihilation….”

The world, as we know it, seems to be an inflection point where the decision is for more war or …peace. Do we now have more reasons to fear war?
