What would a nuclear war look like?



In light of the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the increasing talk of nuclear war, watch back this CND webinar to discuss the realities of nuclear war. In these current times, it is more important than ever to remind everyone of what a nuclear war would mean for the world and to make a clear statement that this outcome has to be avoided at all cost.

Stop the War in Ukraine

19:00 – 21:00, Thursday 10th March

29 Hope Street, Liverpool, L1 9BP

Speakers include Merseyside CND Co-Chair, Peter Wilson and Co-founder of the Stop The War Coalition, Chris Nineham

As the crisis in Ukraine escalates the drum beats for war get louder. Join us at the Casa to hear how the anti-war movement should respond.

Merseyside Stop The War condemns the movement of Russian forces into Ukraine and urges that they immediately withdraw. We call for an immediate ceasefire alongside the resumption of diplomatic negotiations to resolve the crisis.

This dispute could and should be resolved peacefully, and that remains the only basis for a lasting settlement, rather than the imposition of military solutions. That it has not been resolved is not, however, the responsibility of the Russian or Ukrainian governments alone.

The conflict is the product of thirty years of failed policies, including the expansion of NATO and US hegemony at the expense of other countries as well as major wars of aggression by the USA, Britain and other NATO powers which have undermined international law and the United Nations. The meeting will be chaired by Audrey White from Merseyside Stop The War and speakers will include Chris Nineham from Stop The War.
