SUMMARY:4th Anniversary of Ukraine War: End it Now\, or It Could End Up in a Nuclear War!
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Ivana Nikolic´ Hughes will discuss the urgent need for a negotiated end to the Ukraine War\, even with significant concessions to the Russians given the increasingly dire military situation facing the Ukrainians.  This would prevent the US or NATO from escalating with new long-range missiles\, troops\, or attacks on Russian shipping and other targets– such as the alleged Ukrainian 90-drone ‘decapitation’ attack in late December on one of Russian President Putin’s homes– to try to avoid a total Ukrainian defeat.   Such escalation could trigger WWIII\, and a catastrophic nuclear war. \nShe will also discuss the increasing danger of nuclear war between the US and Russia because both the Biden and Trump administrations failed to negotiate with Russia to renew the START treaty (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty).  It has been the most effective treaty over the past forty years to limit nuclear weapons.  It expires on Feb. 6th\, and she will discuss the importance of a groundswell of public support for Trump to agree to Putin’s offer to extend the treaty while beginning new negotiations to renew and even expand it. \nDr. Ivana Nikolic´ Hughes is President of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation and a Senior Lecturer in the Discipline of Chemistry at Columbia University. She holds a BS with Honors from Caltech\, and a PhD from Stanford University. She has been a faculty member at Columbia University since 2008 and currently serves as a member of the Scientific Advisory Group to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW). Her writing has appeared in The Nation\, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists\, The Hill\, Scientific American\, Truthout\, Common Dreams\, Transcend Media Service\, The Diplomat\, and elsewhere. \nCosponsored by Ukraine: A Time for Peace Campaign and the Nuclear Disarmament Working Group of MAPA. \nRegister to attend:
