“Twilight” actor’s warning about nuclear war

According to Fars Cinema Reporter, “We are so used to the imminent threat of nuclear annihilation that this issue rarely has a place in our daily lives.” Stewart made these remarks at a charity event for the film “How to Prevent a Nuclear War,” an adaptation of the book “Doomsday Machine.”

“But when a new crisis or imminent danger jolts us out of our slumber for a moment, we truly discover the insanity of living in a situation close to a true Armageddon.”

Ellsberg warns that the nuclear arsenals of the United States and Russia remain an enormous threat to world peace, and that an all-out nuclear war could still begin within minutes.

Stewart, who is present in this documentary, echoed Ellsberg’s words and emphasized that the world is getting dangerously close to a “nuclear conflict”; Maybe closer than the Cold War era.

Paying tribute to the whistleblower, who died in June 2023 at the age of 92, the “Personal Shopper” and “Clouds of Sils Maria” actor warned: “This film sounds the alarm about this threat; But at the same time, it also shows the solutions and measures that can prevent such a disaster.”

During the Nixon administration, Ellsberg made copies of the Pentagon Papers and other classified nuclear documents and released them to the media. He was charged by Washington with violating the Espionage Act, but the case was dropped due to the government’s illegal collection of evidence.

“If on this subject [سلاح‌های هسته‌ای] “Let’s not talk, as if nothing else matters to us—not social justice, not the environment, not a peaceful political solution, not the movies we make, not the people we love—nothing matters in a post-nuclear apocalyptic barrenness.” Stewart warned.

From World War II, when America used the atomic bomb, until today, there is always a fear of repeating such behavior, and despite international concerns, the number of atomic warheads is increasing day by day.

Russia is in the first place among the countries that have this type of weapons. Estimates of the number of Russian nuclear weapons vary, but many believe that Moscow has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world, but this country has never used a nuclear weapon in an attack anywhere, only in 1949 it tested its first atomic bomb in the remote areas of Kazakhstan. did

Russian officials have always emphasized that a nuclear war will have no winners and should never happen.

After Russia, America is in second place with about 5,550 nuclear weapons. To date, the United States is the only country that has used nuclear weapons in war. On August 6, 1945, a uranium bomb named “Little Boy” was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, which killed an estimated 140,000 people. The country dropped the second bomb, “Fat Man” three days later in Nagasaki, which killed another 74,000 people.

Many American politicians have warned that Joe Biden’s administration, with its actions in Ukraine, has pressured the people of the United States and the whole world to start a nuclear war.
