Trump's Iowa landslide? He received all of 56,000 votes or 7% of registered Republicans in Iowa and just 3% of overall registered voters in the state. More people voted for Muriel Bowser in Washington DC’s last mayoral primary, notes Susan Glasser. newyorker.com/news/letter-fr…

Well, the BBC documentary Nuclear Armageddon: How Close Are We has aired in the UK. amp.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2…

Unfortunately the BBC iPlayer doesn’t work in the US.

The few clips I’ve found show they certainly use our information about Lakenheath. fas.org/publication/in…

Aspiring strongman Trump won the recent presidential caucus election in Iowa, where 69% of Republican voters don’t believe Biden legitimately won the 2020 election and 72% think Trump is fit to be president even if convicted of a crime. 🤪 cnn.com/election/2024/…

There are now a total of 93 countries that have signed the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW). That is nearly half of all the countries that have previously signed the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

70 have ratified or acceded to the TPNW.

But NATO’s resolve to bear costs in Ukraine is low* because Ukraine’s not in NATO, NATO’s not at war in Ukraine, and NATO members don’t currently see it as advantageous to change either of those two conditions. Those limitations wouldn’t hold if Russia attacked NATO itself. 1/?
