It's been 80 years since the dawn of the nuclear age. Today there are 9 states with nuclear weapons and several thousand thermonuclear devices. The Pugwash Conferences is concerned about the deterioration of the international system. They call for an end to the military confrontations involving nuclear-weapon states and a focus on non-proliferation.
North Korea will strengthen its nuclear force "both in quality and quantity" and expand the role of its military intelligence agency focused on South Korea. North Korea is under sanctions over its nuclear programme. The two Koreas remain technically at war as their conflict ended without a peace treaty.
After the Gaza war of 2023 and the humanitarian catastrophe that followed, some European partners have grown sharply critical of Israel’s policies toward Gaza and the broader Palestinian question. Israel's reliance on longstanding partnerships with the United States and a handful of European countries is no longer sufficient. Israel is focusing on cooperation in technology, defense, and civil innovation and moving beyond transactional dealings toward long-term, win-win collaborations.
U.S. intelligence officials claimed in 2024 that a Russian satellite launched 2 years earlier was testing components for a future nuclear antisatellite weapon. Scientists are working on three proposals that would search for such weapons in space. The Pentagon knows the damage a nuclear explosion in space can cause. In 1962, it detonated a 1.4 megaton nuclear weapon, called Starfish Prime, 400 kilometers over Johnston Atoll in the Pacific Ocean. The 1967 Outer Space Treaty explicitly bans placing nuclear weapons in orbit.
Professor Sami al-Arian and investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill discuss Trump's wars in West Asia. The deal against Iran was an admission that the US has been defeated. Israel is allowed to continue its genocide in Gaza and steal and destroy land in Lebanon, while the US is bombing Iran.
Russia and North Korea have a growing strategic relationship. North Korea wants to build a constellation of military reconnaissance satellites. Russia has an extensive network of military and civilian Earth observation satellites capable of monitoring Northeast Asia. It is possible to share intelligence products from Russia’s existing satellite network with Pyongyang without transferring sensitive technologies.
