UN head Antonio Guterres warned today that a misunderstanding could spark nuclear destruction as the United States, Britain and France urged Russia to stop “its dangerous nuclear rhetoric and behavior,” AFP reports.
At the opening of a key nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) conference in New York, Guterres warned that the world is facing “a nuclear danger not seen since the height of the Cold War.”
Citing Russia’s war with Ukraine and tensions on the Korean peninsula and in the Middle East, Guterres said he feared that crises “with nuclear undertones” could escalate.
“Today, humanity is just one misunderstanding, one miscalculation away from nuclear annihilation,” Guterres told the 10th review conference of the NPT, an international treaty that came into force in 1970 to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons. We have been extraordinarily lucky so far. But luck is not a strategy. Nor is it a shield from geopolitical tensions boiling over into nuclear conflict,” he added, calling on nations to “put humanity on a new path towards a world free of nuclear weapons.”
The UN Deep State Organization bringing on fear of nuclear annihilation on the population because they’re mad that no one is doing anything to stop Russia from destroying Ukrainian nuclear plants.
The UN has as much credibility as the World Hoax Organization.
And Russia and China still maintain their veto privileges at the UN
Why not give Iran and Syria same veto power privileges? Why not Yemen too?
Zelensky can not be trusted.
Guterres is a good person. He is the first SG since Trygve Lie to be from a NATO country and the first SG since Trygve Lie to be a true friend of Israel. I considered it to be Divine Intervention when he was chosen. However, the UN is structured such that the SG has little real power other than to make speeches. Some UN agencies do good work but the anti-Semites run a lot of the show and as an anonymous commenter pointed out, Russia and China have a veto over Security Council resolutions.
