Jonathan Granoff
Jonathan Granoff, President of the Global Security Institute, discusses a myriad of issues ranging from nuclear proliferation to developing effective, peaceful coalitions and programs. The world is in a more dangerous position today, regarding nuclear weapons than at any point in time. 13,999 nukes exist in the world, whereas only 2% are necessary to destroy the world. The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) is the foundation for the peaceful use of nuclear energy. Actions in Venezuela, attacks on US allies, and bombings of Iran upend the Rule of Law. Allies can no longer believe in the US’s umbrella of nuclear protection. The US is not living up to its national and domestic laws. Every citizen should ask policymakers and politicians to eliminate nukes, reduce poverty, and to protect the climate. Disarmament and nuclear proliferation should be taught in the schools. Nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction are not partisan issues.
