“End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity”
Jan 29, 2026
LLAW’s Nuclear World News’ Image and/or Lead Story for Today . . .
It may be that this foolish-looking representative of what an improperly guarded or controlled disgruntled individual — with political power and a few complicit or forced collaborators as accomplices — could cause to end most of the human population and other sentient life all around the world.
Nonsense, you say? I say so because it may be the most likely beginning of all nuclear war —which could also begin with terrorism, nuclear accidents, or malfeasance. Conceivably, but far less likely, even n nuclear power plant or a small invaded and controlled group of them could do the same thing.
Why would I say such a thing? Because it is possible that an individual or a small terrorist group who is led by a dictator or other influential leader in a nuclear armed country — even with only a small nuclear arsenal of weapons launching nothing more than a single nuclear warhead at just a single enemy with nuclear weapons — or not — could create a mass nuclear war around the globe, creating WWIII and the inevitable end of the world as we know it. ~llaw

An Important Message from:
Lloyd Albert Williams/Pendergraft, Content Creator . . .
This daily blog post will, for the next several issues at least, contains only the daily compiled LLAW’s Nuclear World News Today for an unknown period without comment or critique because my eyesight has quite suddenly become impossible for me to continue. (Google compiles the category lists from news sources for me automatically during the course of a day, so the articles and stories themselves are not a problem to post, although they are often out of category order, which I will do my best to correct each day.)
But, rest assured, I’m not going away — I am doing everything in my power to remedy the problem with my eyes — and I hope to return to a full daily report, including new, stronger and more internationally important commentary, of “All Things Nuclear” as soon as I am physically able . . . ~llaw\
