- Reposted by WILPFThe last nuclear arms control agreement between Russia and the United States expired today. While the treaty placed important limits on deployed nuclear weapons, it didn’t prevent an arms race, nor did it lead to disarmament. We need abolition now. 📃: reachingcriticalwill.org/news/latest-...
