In Hiroshima, Nobel Prize brings survivors hope, sense of duty

What a remarkably courageous women, 87 years old, sprightly, sharp quick witted,

"This feels like the first step, the beginning of a movement toward nuclear abolition"

Sadly, without global unprecedented change, the next generation 21st century weapons of mass destruction are soon to be upon a world unwilling, unable to work toward peaceful co-existence

I’m not convinced at all for the argument that less nuclear weapons will bring more peace. There’s a strong argument to be made that mutually assured destruction has played a huge role in dissuading war between nuclear armed states after World War 2. Does anyone think Russia would have invaded Ukraine in the event Ukraine still had its nuclear arsenal?

The imminent danger is war in Ukraine could result in Putin desperate belief the use of tactical nuclear weapons is strategically politically feasible.

So then solution to that is stop poking the bear, for God’s sake.

The head of Nihon Hidankyo group himself, a gentleman called Toshiyuki Mimaki, said that he thought the Nobel Peace Prize should have gone to people worked with the wounded in Gaza.

"In Gaza, bleeding children are being held (by their parents). It's like in Japan 80 years ago," Mimaki said.

You can see Mimaki say the words himself on al Jazeera's tiktok.

Why not a more comprehensive movement for abolishment of war?
