Dawn says that the UN should be doing more to ban nuclear weapons. \u201cHow we think about that, and how we act on that risk and the management of that risk, seems to me a pretty significant and urgent question that isn\u2019t reflected fully in the (U.N.) Security Council,\u201d&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/policy\/defense\/444892-un-arms-official-says-risk-of-nuclear-war-at-its-highest-since-ww2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">she told&nbsp;<em>Reuters&nbsp;<\/em>according to<em>&nbsp;The Hill.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, a ban only works if countries are going to obey. Should nations defy a UN nuclear weapons ban, there is literally nothing the UN can do about it. There are far too many nukes out there for the UN\u2019s words to matter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UN ARMS CHIEF SAYS NUCLEAR WAR IS CLOSER THAN EVER SINCE WW2 A United Nations arms official has declared nuclear war to be closer than it has ever been since World War II.
