Nuclear Abolition Is the Only Civilised Option: Here the essential arguments you are not supposed to know

Nuclear weapons are undemocratic, useless, criminal, terrorist, and unethical – they cannot serve deterrence without being used, and their development steals the resources that should be used to solve real problems and secure humanity’s better future. Jan Oberg TFF director June 9, 2026 Global nuclear weapons spending reached an unprecedented 119 billion USD in 2025, […]

Jan Oberg May 15, 2026 Go to this Fox News page and scroll the whole way down: President Donald Trump tells the world that his meeting with President Xi Jinping yielded a lot of very concrete political and economic results – of course, only where the Chinese side, according to him, agreed with him.

TFF Peace Pulse # 5 –  Threat Analyses Are MIMAC Inventions – unrelated to reality.

TFF Peace Pulse # 2 – We need an all-European debate about Europe’s future

Jan Oberg, TFF director April 16, 2026 These Peace Pulses will only be published here a few times.
