Beautiful presentation, Diane, full of positive pathways that are surely supported by the vast majority of humanity. Time to push aside the war mongers, narcissists and megalomaniacs who cling to these horrific killing machines, and allow deeper human wisdom to shine through and take over!

Thank you both. Hopefully shedding light on the dynamics of domination that very few are aware of will help awaken more people to hidden forces so that they can take more enlightened actions.

I detest the UN because all those who are members(communists) wish to take over the world and end my freedom. We should never have had anything to do with other countries in our world. Two of our unworthy traitor presidents were the ones who got us in this mess in the first place. They were evil people! Read the Bible and maybe you will see why and how this is going to end. I pray I am gone before chaos begins. I plan to go to heaven and live where there are no more wicked people. No more pain, death and bad times.

I listened to your section of the video. The threat of nuclear war, even limited, is terrifying. When the air raid sirens go off here it very frightening. My 2 year old grandson gets scared if he hears loud noises. It must be traumatic to grow up and live in fear of war, sirens and explosions. It brings back memories of the horrible animated videos on TV in the fifties of people being vaporized from a Nuk. -----On another topic the maniac Jewish settlers in the west bank are murdering Palestinians, burning their homes and more. It's like living in Mississippi in the fifties when the KKK were murdering Black people, setting fire to their homes and churches. I'm trying to convince my daughter and her husband to move to Europe. (Her husband also has Spanish citizenship ) This place has evolved into a big mess

Thanks for your comments. I am sorry for what you and others are going through. Yes, a big mess. Horrible what the settlers are doing but also the relentless massacre of innocents in Gaza who are deeply traumatized. Moving to Europe is not a bad idea. I hope they reach a deal soon but will need much work on healing. I wish you all the best.

It certainly does not make Israelis more secure, Jews around the world safe or reduce anti-Semitism. Much hard work ahead to deal with the aftermath.

At last some sign of anti-nuke thinking and peace spreading which both have been missing from the agendas, strangely..

All of us NGOs representing civil society at these UN conferences have been at it our whole adult lives, although the issue has faded from media and public discourse. Maybe now with all the nuclear saber rattling more will wake up. Thanks!

Alistair Crooke offered a convincing analysis (for me) that war is inevitable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srgmkKWEpMQ
