LLAW’s NUCLEAR WORLD NEWS TODAY and the GLOBAL RISKS & CONSEQUENCES TOMORROW
In My Opinion:
Why on Earth are we doing this?
We are building our own Trojan Horse”! Why are other nations around the world, including the US, developing more powerful nuclear weapons and more of them? We say it’s for something called “nuclear deterrence” which means constantly expanding fear from one nation to another to avoid nuclear war, which cannot continue because of world-wide financial incapability. and other, mostly political, negative issues.
What is wrong with humanity? Are we so insecure that we are inviting our own demise out of fear, selfishness, jealousy, anger, hatred, racism, religion, occupied land, and absolute humanity’s inane ego and ignorance growing to the point that we inherently want to self-self destruct like lemmings?
Trump says it’s “very important for the success and even survival of our country” .Does he have no idea or comprehension of the fact that no country can survive an outright nuclear war against other world nations? We already know that a nuclear war dubbed WWIII would destroy humanity along with most all other innocent life. ~llaw
North Korea says US missile shield plans risk ‘nuclear war’ in space
Seoul (AFP) – North Korea slammed on Tuesday US President Donald Trump’s “Golden Dome” missile shield plan as a “very dangerous” threat that could spark nuclear war in space, state media said.

Trump announced new details and initial funding for the missile shield system last week, calling it “very important for the success and even survival of our country”.
The initiative faces significant technical and political challenges, according to analysts, and could come at a hefty price tag.
In a statement shared by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), Pyongyang’s foreign ministry slammed the “very dangerous ‘threatening initiative’ aimed at threatening the strategic security of the nuclear weapons states”.
The United States is “hell-bent on the moves to militarize outer space,” the foreign ministry said.
“The US plan for building a new missile defense system is the root cause of sparking off global nuclear and space arms race by stimulating the security concerns of nuclear weapons states and turning… outer space into a potential nuclear war field,” it added.
Washington — Seoul’s key security ally — has in recent years ramped up joint military exercises and increased the presence of strategic US assets, such as an aircraft carrier and a nuclear-powered submarine, in the region to deter the North.
Pyongyang has repeatedly declared itself an “irreversible” nuclear weapons state and routinely denounces joint US-South Korea drills as rehearsals for invasion.
Hong Min, a senior analyst at the Korea Institute for National Unification, told AFP that Pyongyang saw Trump’s “Golden Dome” as a threat.
“The North’s strong reaction suggests it views the Golden Dome as capable of significantly weakening the effectiveness of its nuclear arsenal, including its ICBMs,” he said.
“If the US completes its new missile defence programme, the North will be forced to develop alternative means to counter or penetrate it,” he added.
China, Russia modernising weapons
China has also expressed strong concerns about Washington’s Golden Dome plan, accusing the United States of undermining global stability.
Beijing is closing the gap with Washington when it comes to ballistic and hypersonic missile technology, while Moscow is modernising its intercontinental-range missile systems and developing advanced precision strike missiles, according to a 2022 Pentagon review.
The Kremlin has said Trump’s initiative would require consultations with Russia but was otherwise a “sovereign matter” for the United States, softening its tone after also previously slamming the idea as destabilising.
The plan’s Golden Dome name stems from Israel’s Iron Dome air defence system which has intercepted thousands of short-range rockets and other projectiles since it went into operation in 2011.
The United States faces various missile threats from adversaries, but they differ significantly from the short-range weapons that Israel’s Iron Dome is designed to counter.Subscribed
