Kurzgesagt (In a Nutshell), What if We Nuke a City?

What if We Nuke a City?

Playing around with nuclear weapons in videos is fun.

There's a visceral joy in blowing things up,

and a horrifying fascination with things like fireballs, shockwaves, and radiation.

And while it does help put our destructive power in perspective,

it's not the best way of understanding the real impact of a nuclear explosion.

This isn't about silly stacks of TNT, or about how bright an explosion is. Nuclear weapons are about you.

So we've partnered with the Red Cross and Red Crescent movement

to explore what would really happen if a nuclear weapon were detonated in a major city today.

Not nuclear war, just one explosion.

*Kurzgesagt Intro Music*

We begin our story in the middle of downtown in a major city.

People are going to work, studying for exams, are lost in their thoughts and daily lives.

Right here a nuclear weapon is detonated and time freezes.

The first phase of the explosion happens within less than a second.

In a millisecond, a ball of plasma hotter than the Sun appears and grows in a fireball to more than 2 kilometres across.

Within this ball, everyone is just gone.

Think of water dripped on to a very hot pan.

A sizzle, and then there's nothing.

Most buildings, cars, trees, tacky sculptures and people...

... all evaporated.

First, the flash: an intense tsunami of light washes over the city in an instant.

If you happen to have your head pointed in the direction of the explosion,

it renders you blind for a few hours.

The heat of this light produces a thermal pulse,

so energetic and hot that it just burns everything as far as 13 kilometres from the detonation site.

What this means is that everything in an area of 500 square kilometres that is able to burn, starts burning.

Plastic, wood, fabric, hair, and skin.

If you happen to be in reach of the thermal pulse, one moment, you're on your way to work,

the next moment, you're on fire.

Now the second phase begins.

It happens in a few seconds.

Most people will now first notice that something is wrong,

but it's already too late for hundreds of thousands.

The flash is followed by the shockwave.

The heat and radiation of the fireball create a bubble of superheated and super-compressed air around it

that's now expanding explosively.

Faster than the speed of sound,

creating winds stronger than hurricanes and tornadoes.

Human infrastructure is no match for its power.

Most major buildings within a kilometre of the fireball are just ground up down to their base.

Only steel reinforced concrete is able to partially resist the pressure.

In the surrounding parks where retirees feed the ducks,

trees blackened and smoldering from the heat a second before snap like toothpicks.

If you're outside, you get tossed away like a grain of dust in a tornado.

The shockwave weakens as it travels outwards

but still, about 175 square kilometres of houses collapse like they're made of cards,

trapping tens of thousands of people who didn't have any time to react.

Gas stations explode and fire spread throughout the rubble.

A mushroom cloud made from the remains of the fireball, dust and ash

rises kilometres into the sky in the next few minutes and casts a dark shadow over the ruined city.

This violently pulls in fresh air surrounding the city,

destroying more buildings and providing an abundance of oxygen.

It depends on the city what happens next.

If there's enough fuel, fires may turn into a firestorm that burns the rubble, everybody trapped in it

and people trying to flee the devastation.

Up to 21 kilometres from the explosion, people just like you rush to their windows to take pictures of the mushroom cloud,

unaware that the shockwave is still coming at them,

about to shatter their windows and create a blizzard of sharp glass.

The third phase begins in the coming hours and days.

We're used to the idea that help will come, no matter the disaster.

This time is different: a nuclear explosion is like every natural disaster at once.

There are hundreds of thousands or millions of people with serious injuries:

lacerations, broken bones, serious burns.

In the next few minutes and hours, thousands more will die because of these injuries.

Countless people are trapped in collapsed buildings like in earthquakes or blinded by the flash,

deaf from the blast wave and unable to flee through streets impassable with rubble and debris.

They're terrified, confused, and don't know what's happened to them or why.

Most likely, many hospitals have been leveled along with all the other buildings

and most medical professionals are either dead or injured,

along with everyone else.

The survivors lucky enough to have been in metro tunnels or standing in the right place to be unburned and unhurt

won't have truly escaped harm yet.

Depending on the type of weapon, where it explodes and even the weather,

an awful black rain can begin,

with radioactive ash and dust descending on the city, covering everything and everyone.

The invisible, malicious, silent horror of radiation takes its turn.

Every breath carries poison to the lungs of the survivors.

Over the coming days, the people who receive the highest doses of radiation exposure will die.

There will be no help, not for hours or maybe even days.

Civilisation doesn't operate when there is a total breakdown of infrastructure.

Roads are blocked, train tracks warped, runways cluttered with rubble.

No water, no electricity,

no communication, no stores to replenish supplies from.

Help from surrounding cities will have a hard time entering the disaster zone

and even if they can, the radioactive contamination will make it risky to get too close.

After a nuclear attack, you're on your own.

So, bit by bit, people emerge from the rubble on foot,

contaminated with radioactive fallout, carrying what little they may have left.

They are slow, in pain, traumatized, and they all need food, water and medical treatment fast.

And the damage done by a nuclear weapon doesn't end when the fires burn out and the smoke clears.

The hospitals in the neighboring cities are under-equipped for a disaster of this scale

and overwhelmed with tens or hundreds of thousands of patients with serious injuries.

In the weeks, months and years to come,

many of those who survived will succumb to cancers like leukemia.

The reason no government wants you to think about all this is because there is no serious humanitarian response possible to a nuclear explosion.

There's no way to really help the immediate victims of a nuclear attack.

This is not a hurricane, wildfire or earthquake or nuclear accident.

It is all of these things at once, but worse.

No nation on earth is prepared to deal with it.

The world has changed in the past few years, with world leaders again

explicitly and publicly threatening each other with nuclear weapons.

Many experts think the danger of a nuclear strike is higher than it has been in decades.

Governments tell their citizens that it's good that we have nuclear weapons,

but it's bad when anyone else gets them.

That it's somehow necessary to threaten others with mass destruction to keep us safe.

But does this make you feel safe?

It only takes a small group of people with power to go crazy or rogue, a small misstep or a simple misunderstanding

to unleash a catastrophe of unimaginable proportions.

Exploding stuff in videos is fun.

Exploding things in real life, not so much.

There is a solution though!

Eliminating all nuclear weapons and vowing never to build them again.

In 2017, almost 2/3 of all the world's countries,

supported by hundreds of civil society organizations and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent movement

agreed to prohibit and eliminate nuclear weapons.

It's not about who has nuclear weapons and who doesn't. The weapons themselves are the problem.

They are deeply immoral and an existential threat to all of us.

No matter what country you come from, no matter what political side you find yourself on,

we need to demand that they disappear forever.

This will not happen without pressure.

If you want to be part of this pressure, there are things you personally can do too:

Що, якщо ми підірвемо місто? 如果我们用核武器摧毁一座城市怎么办? 如果我們用核武器攻擊一座城市怎麼辦?

Playing around with nuclear weapons in videos is fun. Es macht Spaß, in Videos mit Atomwaffen herumzuspielen. Jouer avec des armes nucléaires dans des vidéos est amusant.

There's a visceral joy in blowing things up, Es macht einfach Spaß, Dinge in die Luft zu jagen, Hay un placer visceral en volar cosas por los aires, Il y a une joie viscérale à faire exploser des choses, Há uma alegria visceral em explodir coisas,

and a horrifying fascination with things like fireballs, shockwaves, and radiation. und eine erschreckende Faszination für Dinge wie Feuerbälle, Schockwellen und Strahlung. y una horrible fascinación por cosas como las bolas de fuego, las ondas expansivas y la radiación. そして火の玉、衝撃波、放射線といったものにぞっとするほど魅了される。 e uma terrível fascinação por coisas como bolas de fogo, ondas de choque e radiação. и ужасающее увлечение такими вещами, как огненные шары, ударные волны и радиация.

And while it does help put our destructive power in perspective, Und obwohl es hilft, unsere zerstörerische Kraft zu relativieren, И хотя это помогает представить нашу разрушительную силу в перспективе,

it's not the best way of understanding the real impact of a nuclear explosion. Es ist nicht der beste Weg, um die tatsächlichen Auswirkungen einer Atomexplosion zu verstehen.

This isn't about silly stacks of TNT, or about how bright an explosion is. Nuclear weapons are about you. Hier geht es nicht um alberne Stapel von TNT oder darum, wie hell eine Explosion ist. Bei Nuklearwaffen geht es um Sie. Não se trata de pilhas bobas de TNT ou de quão brilhante é uma explosão. As armas nucleares são sobre você.

So we've partnered with the Red Cross and Red Crescent movement Deshalb haben wir uns mit dem Roten Kreuz und dem Roten Halbmond zusammengetan. Así que nos hemos asociado con el movimiento de la Cruz Roja y la Media Luna Roja Então fizemos uma parceria com o movimento da Cruz Vermelha e do Crescente Vermelho Поэтому мы сотрудничаем с движением Красного Креста и Красного Полумесяца.

to explore what would really happen if a nuclear weapon were detonated in a major city today. um herauszufinden, was wirklich passieren würde, wenn heute in einer Großstadt eine Atomwaffe gezündet würde. para explorar o que realmente aconteceria se uma arma nuclear fosse detonada em uma grande cidade hoje.

Not nuclear war, just one explosion. Kein Atomkrieg, nur eine Explosion.

*Kurzgesagt Intro Music*

We begin our story in the middle of downtown in a major city. Wir beginnen unsere Geschichte mitten im Stadtzentrum einer Großstadt. Começamos nossa história no meio do centro de uma grande cidade. Мы начинаем нашу историю в центре большого города.

People are going to work, studying for exams, are lost in their thoughts and daily lives. Die Menschen gehen zur Arbeit, lernen für Prüfungen, sind in ihren Gedanken und ihrem Alltag versunken.

Right here a nuclear weapon is detonated and time freezes. Genau hier wird eine Atomwaffe gezündet und die Zeit eingefroren.

The first phase of the explosion happens within less than a second. Die erste Phase der Explosion erfolgt in weniger als einer Sekunde.

In a millisecond, a ball of plasma hotter than the Sun appears and grows in a fireball to more than 2 kilometres across. In einer Millisekunde entsteht ein Plasmaball, der heißer als die Sonne ist und in einem Feuerball auf mehr als 2 km Durchmesser anwächst.

Within this ball, everyone is just gone. In diesem Ball sind einfach alle weg.

Think of water dripped on to a very hot pan. Denken Sie an Wasser, das auf eine sehr heiße Pfanne tropft. Pense na água pingando em uma panela muito quente. Представьте себе воду, капнувшую на очень горячую сковороду.

A sizzle, and then there's nothing. Ein Zischen, und dann ist da nichts mehr. Um chiado, e então não há nada. Шипение, а потом ничего.

Most buildings, cars, trees, tacky sculptures and people... Die meisten Gebäude, Autos, Bäume, kitschigen Skulpturen und Menschen... De meeste gebouwen, auto's, bomen, plakkerige sculpturen en mensen ... A maioria dos prédios, carros, árvores, esculturas cafonas e pessoas... Большинство зданий, автомобилей, деревьев, безвкусных скульптур и людей...

... all evaporated. ... alles verdunstet. ... все испарилось.

First, the flash: an intense tsunami of light washes over the city in an instant. Zuerst der Blitz: Ein intensiver Tsunami aus Licht überschwemmt die Stadt in einem Augenblick. Primeiro, o flash: um intenso tsunami de luz inunda a cidade em um instante. Во-первых, вспышка: мощное цунами света накрывает город в одно мгновение.

If you happen to have your head pointed in the direction of the explosion, Wenn Sie Ihren Kopf zufällig in Richtung der Explosion gerichtet haben,

it renders you blind for a few hours. es macht Sie für einige Stunden blind. deixa você cego por algumas horas. ослепляет на несколько часов.

The heat of this light produces a thermal pulse, Die Wärme dieses Lichts erzeugt einen thermischen Impuls, O calor desta luz produz um pulso térmico, Тепло этого света производит тепловой импульс,

so energetic and hot that it just burns everything as far as 13 kilometres from the detonation site. die so energiereich und heiß ist, dass sie bis zu 13 Kilometer vom Ort der Detonation entfernt alles verbrennt. zo energiek en heet dat het alles gewoon verbrandt tot wel 13 kilometer van de ontploffingsplaats. tão enérgico e quente que queima tudo até 13 quilômetros do local da detonação.

What this means is that everything in an area of 500 square kilometres that is able to burn, starts burning. Das bedeutet, dass in einem Gebiet von 500 Quadratkilometern alles, was brennen kann, zu brennen beginnt.

Plastic, wood, fabric, hair, and skin. Kunststoff, Holz, Stoff, Haare und Haut.

If you happen to be in reach of the thermal pulse, one moment, you're on your way to work, Wenn Sie sich zufällig in Reichweite des Wärmepulses befinden, sind Sie auf dem Weg zur Arbeit,

the next moment, you're on fire. und im nächsten Moment brennt es schon wieder.

Now the second phase begins. Nun beginnt die zweite Phase.

It happens in a few seconds. Das geschieht in wenigen Sekunden.

Most people will now first notice that something is wrong, Die meisten Menschen werden jetzt erst merken, dass etwas nicht stimmt,

but it's already too late for hundreds of thousands. aber für Hunderttausende ist es bereits zu spät.

The flash is followed by the shockwave. Auf den Blitz folgt die Schockwelle.

The heat and radiation of the fireball create a bubble of superheated and super-compressed air around it Die Hitze und die Strahlung des Feuerballs erzeugen eine Blase aus überhitzter und stark komprimierter Luft um ihn herum.

that's now expanding explosively. die sich jetzt explosionsartig ausbreitet.

Faster than the speed of sound, Schneller als die Geschwindigkeit des Schalls,

creating winds stronger than hurricanes and tornadoes. Sie erzeugen Winde, die stärker sind als Wirbelstürme und Tornados.

Human infrastructure is no match for its power. Die menschliche Infrastruktur ist seiner Macht nicht gewachsen. A infraestrutura humana não é páreo para o seu poder.

Most major buildings within a kilometre of the fireball are just ground up down to their base. Die meisten größeren Gebäude im Umkreis von einem Kilometer um den Feuerball sind bis auf ihre Grundmauern zerstört. A maioria dos grandes edifícios dentro de um quilômetro da bola de fogo são apenas triturados até sua base.

Only steel reinforced concrete is able to partially resist the pressure. Nur Stahlbeton ist in der Lage, dem Druck teilweise zu widerstehen. Apenas o concreto armado com aço é capaz de resistir parcialmente à pressão.

In the surrounding parks where retirees feed the ducks, In den umliegenden Parks, wo die Rentner die Enten füttern, Nos parques circundantes onde os aposentados alimentam os patos,

trees blackened and smoldering from the heat a second before snap like toothpicks. Bäume, die von der Hitze geschwärzt und schwelend sind, brechen eine Sekunde vorher wie Zahnstocher. árvores enegrecidas e fumegando pelo calor um segundo antes de estalar como palitos de dente.

If you're outside, you get tossed away like a grain of dust in a tornado. Wenn du draußen bist, wirst du weggeschleudert wie ein Staubkorn in einem Tornado. Se você estiver do lado de fora, será jogado fora como um grão de poeira em um tornado.

The shockwave weakens as it travels outwards Die Schockwelle schwächt sich ab, wenn sie sich nach außen bewegt A onda de choque enfraquece à medida que viaja para fora

but still, about 175 square kilometres of houses collapse like they're made of cards, Dennoch stürzen auf einer Fläche von 175 Quadratkilometern Häuser ein, als ob sie aus Karten gemacht wären, mas ainda assim, cerca de 175 quilômetros quadrados de casas desmoronam como se fossem feitas de cartas,

trapping tens of thousands of people who didn't have any time to react. Zehntausende von Menschen, die keine Zeit zum Reagieren hatten, wurden eingeschlossen. prendendo dezenas de milhares de pessoas que não tiveram tempo de reagir.

Gas stations explode and fire spread throughout the rubble. Postos de gasolina explodem e o fogo se espalha pelos escombros.

A mushroom cloud made from the remains of the fireball, dust and ash Eine Pilzwolke aus den Überresten des Feuerballs, Staub und Asche

rises kilometres into the sky in the next few minutes and casts a dark shadow over the ruined city. steigt in den nächsten Minuten kilometerhoch in den Himmel und wirft einen dunklen Schatten über die zerstörte Stadt. sobe quilômetros no céu nos próximos minutos e lança uma sombra escura sobre a cidade em ruínas.

This violently pulls in fresh air surrounding the city, Dadurch wird die frische Luft in der Umgebung der Stadt heftig angesaugt, これは、街を取り囲む新鮮な空気を激しく吸い込む、 Isso puxa violentamente o ar fresco ao redor da cidade, Это яростно втягивает свежий воздух, окружающий город,

destroying more buildings and providing an abundance of oxygen. mehr Gebäude zu zerstören und für reichlich Sauerstoff zu sorgen. より多くの建物を破壊し、豊富な酸素を供給する。 разрушая больше зданий и обеспечивая изобилие кислорода.

It depends on the city what happens next. Es hängt von der Stadt ab, wie es weitergeht.

If there's enough fuel, fires may turn into a firestorm that burns the rubble, everybody trapped in it Wenn genügend Brennstoff vorhanden ist, können sich die Brände zu einem Feuersturm entwickeln, der die Trümmer und alle darin eingeschlossenen Personen verbrennt. Se houver combustível suficiente, os incêndios podem se transformar em uma tempestade de fogo que queima os escombros, todos presos nele

and people trying to flee the devastation. und Menschen, die versuchen, vor der Verwüstung zu fliehen. e pessoas tentando fugir da devastação.

Up to 21 kilometres from the explosion, people just like you rush to their windows to take pictures of the mushroom cloud, Bis zu 21 Kilometer von der Explosion entfernt eilen Menschen wie Sie zu ihren Fenstern, um Fotos von der Pilzwolke zu machen, Até 21 quilômetros da explosão, pessoas como você correm para suas janelas para tirar fotos da nuvem de cogumelo,

unaware that the shockwave is still coming at them, ohne zu wissen, dass die Schockwelle immer noch auf sie zukommt,

about to shatter their windows and create a blizzard of sharp glass. um ihre Fenster zu zertrümmern und einen Schneesturm aus scharfem Glas zu erzeugen. prestes a quebrar suas janelas e criar uma nevasca de vidro afiado.

The third phase begins in the coming hours and days. Die dritte Phase beginnt in den nächsten Stunden und Tagen.

We're used to the idea that help will come, no matter the disaster. Wir haben uns an die Vorstellung gewöhnt, dass Hilfe kommen wird, egal wie groß die Katastrophe ist.

This time is different: a nuclear explosion is like every natural disaster at once. Diesmal ist es anders: Eine Atomexplosion ist wie jede Naturkatastrophe auf einmal.

There are hundreds of thousands or millions of people with serious injuries: Es gibt Hunderttausende oder Millionen von Menschen mit schweren Verletzungen:

lacerations, broken bones, serious burns. lacerações, ossos quebrados, queimaduras graves.

In the next few minutes and hours, thousands more will die because of these injuries.

Countless people are trapped in collapsed buildings like in earthquakes or blinded by the flash,

deaf from the blast wave and unable to flee through streets impassable with rubble and debris. surdos da onda de choque e incapazes de fugir por ruas intransitáveis com escombros e escombros.

They're terrified, confused, and don't know what's happened to them or why. Eles estão aterrorizados, confusos e não sabem o que aconteceu com eles ou por quê.

Most likely, many hospitals have been leveled along with all the other buildings おそらく、多くの病院が他の建物と一緒に破壊されたことだろう Muito provavelmente, muitos hospitais foram nivelados junto com todos os outros edifícios

and most medical professionals are either dead or injured, e a maioria dos profissionais médicos estão mortos ou feridos,

along with everyone else.

The survivors lucky enough to have been in metro tunnels or standing in the right place to be unburned and unhurt

won't have truly escaped harm yet. noch nicht wirklich dem Schaden entkommen. ainda não terá escapado do mal.

Depending on the type of weapon, where it explodes and even the weather,

an awful black rain can begin, uma terrível chuva negra pode começar,

with radioactive ash and dust descending on the city, covering everything and everyone. com cinzas e poeiras radioativas descendo sobre a cidade, cobrindo tudo e todos.

The invisible, malicious, silent horror of radiation takes its turn. Der unsichtbare, bösartige, stille Schrecken der Strahlung nimmt seinen Lauf. O horror invisível, malicioso e silencioso da radiação tem sua vez.

Every breath carries poison to the lungs of the survivors. Cada respiração leva veneno para os pulmões dos sobreviventes. 每一次呼吸都将毒物带入幸存者的肺部。

Over the coming days, the people who receive the highest doses of radiation exposure will die.

There will be no help, not for hours or maybe even days.

Civilisation doesn't operate when there is a total breakdown of infrastructure. A civilização não funciona quando há um colapso total da infraestrutura.

Roads are blocked, train tracks warped, runways cluttered with rubble. Estradas estão bloqueadas, trilhos de trem empenados, pistas cheias de escombros.

No water, no electricity,

no communication, no stores to replenish supplies from. keine Kommunikation, keine Vorräte, die aufgefüllt werden könnten. sem comunicação, sem lojas para reabastecer suprimentos.

Help from surrounding cities will have a hard time entering the disaster zone

and even if they can, the radioactive contamination will make it risky to get too close.

After a nuclear attack, you're on your own. Depois de um ataque nuclear, você está sozinho.

So, bit by bit, people emerge from the rubble on foot, So kommen die Menschen nach und nach zu Fuß aus den Trümmern heraus, Assim, pouco a pouco, as pessoas emergem dos escombros a pé,

contaminated with radioactive fallout, carrying what little they may have left. contaminados com precipitação radioativa, carregando o pouco que lhes restava. загрязнены радиоактивными осадками, унося с собой то немногое, что у них могло остаться.

They are slow, in pain, traumatized, and they all need food, water and medical treatment fast. Они медлительны, страдают от боли, травмированы, и всем им срочно нужна еда, вода и медицинская помощь.

And the damage done by a nuclear weapon doesn't end when the fires burn out and the smoke clears. E o dano causado por uma arma nuclear não termina quando os incêndios se apagam e a fumaça se dissipa.

The hospitals in the neighboring cities are under-equipped for a disaster of this scale Os hospitais das cidades vizinhas estão mal equipados para um desastre dessa escala Больницы в соседних городах недостаточно оборудованы для стихийного бедствия такого масштаба.

and overwhelmed with tens or hundreds of thousands of patients with serious injuries. e sobrecarregado com dezenas ou centenas de milhares de pacientes com ferimentos graves.

In the weeks, months and years to come,

many of those who survived will succumb to cancers like leukemia.

The reason no government wants you to think about all this is because there is no serious humanitarian response possible to a nuclear explosion. Der Grund dafür, dass keine Regierung möchte, dass Sie über all dies nachdenken, ist, dass es keine ernsthafte humanitäre Reaktion auf eine nukleare Explosion gibt.

There's no way to really help the immediate victims of a nuclear attack. Es gibt keine Möglichkeit, den unmittelbaren Opfern eines Atomangriffs wirklich zu helfen.

This is not a hurricane, wildfire or earthquake or nuclear accident. Este não é um furacão, incêndio florestal ou terremoto ou acidente nuclear.

It is all of these things at once, but worse.

No nation on earth is prepared to deal with it.

The world has changed in the past few years, with world leaders again Die Welt hat sich in den letzten Jahren verändert, und die Staats- und Regierungschefs der Welt haben wieder

explicitly and publicly threatening each other with nuclear weapons. sich gegenseitig ausdrücklich und öffentlich mit Atomwaffen zu drohen.

Many experts think the danger of a nuclear strike is higher than it has been in decades. Muitos especialistas acham que o perigo de um ataque nuclear é maior do que em décadas.

Governments tell their citizens that it's good that we have nuclear weapons,

but it's bad when anyone else gets them. aber es ist schlimm, wenn jemand anderes sie bekommt.

That it's somehow necessary to threaten others with mass destruction to keep us safe. Что каким-то образом необходимо угрожать другим массовым уничтожением, чтобы обезопасить себя.

But does this make you feel safe?

It only takes a small group of people with power to go crazy or rogue, a small misstep or a simple misunderstanding 権力を持つ小さな集団が狂ったり、不正を働いたりするのは、小さな不注意や単純な誤解があるだけだ。 Basta um pequeno grupo de pessoas com poder para enlouquecer ou desonesto, um pequeno passo em falso ou um simples mal-entendido Достаточно небольшой группы людей, обладающих властью, чтобы сойти с ума или сойти с ума, небольшой оплошности или простого недоразумения.

to unleash a catastrophe of unimaginable proportions. 想像を絶する大災害を引き起こす。 desencadear uma catástrofe de proporções inimagináveis. развязать катастрофу невообразимых масштабов.

Exploding stuff in videos is fun.

Exploding things in real life, not so much.

There is a solution though!

Eliminating all nuclear weapons and vowing never to build them again. Eliminando todas as armas nucleares e prometendo nunca mais construí-las. Ликвидация всего ядерного оружия и клятва никогда не создавать его снова.

In 2017, almost 2/3 of all the world's countries,

supported by hundreds of civil society organizations and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent movement

agreed to prohibit and eliminate nuclear weapons.

It's not about who has nuclear weapons and who doesn't. The weapons themselves are the problem.

They are deeply immoral and an existential threat to all of us. Ze zijn zeer immoreel en een existentiële bedreiging voor ons allemaal.

No matter what country you come from, no matter what political side you find yourself on,

we need to demand that they disappear forever.

This will not happen without pressure.

If you want to be part of this pressure, there are things you personally can do too:
