Two things are infinite: 
the universe and human stupidity; 
and I’m not sure about the universe!
                   - Albert Einstein

[Paradigm Shift on 4zzz fm 102.1 Friday 19 Feb 2016]

There are nine countries with nuclear weapons: USA, China, Russia, France, India, Pakistan, Israel, North Korea, and the UK.

Andy and Ian discuss the movement to ban nuclear weapons. They play a 3CR Melbourne show about “The New Movement to Ban Nuclear Weapons”.

This is a crucial time in world affairs because of threats by Turkey and Saudi Arabia to escalate the war in Syria. Three states neighbouring Syria have access to nuclear weapons: Turkey, Russia and Israel not to mention nuclear states United States, Britain and France who have provided rebel groups with weapons to overthrow the Assad government in Syria.
