The Trump administration is reviving the threat of nuclear war in a way that no other U.S. presidency has done since the Cold War. It’s easy to feel disempowered in the face of such news, but the history of nuclear weapons since 1945 is one of extensive and frequent interventions by organized people in the United States and other countries to stop nuclear weapons deployments and nuclear war itself.

The Trump administration is reviving the threat of nuclear war in a way that no other U.S. presidency has done since the Cold War.
