Despite being highly informed with regards to the consequences of a nuclear conflict world leaders continue to dismantle regulations limiting the development of atomic weapons. This irresponsible behaviour displays a complete lack of regard for the security of the civilian population and the longevity of our planet.
The nuclear arsenals of Russia and America have sufficient destructive capability to wipeout all life on Earth. Now with the abolition of the INF (Intermediate Nuclear Forces) Treaty, which was signed by these rival nations towards the end of the Cold War, the two superpowers are again free to develop new long range missile systems. This places our species at risk of annihilation should these adversaries engage in warfare. For this reason I urge you to email Canberra and insist that your representatives advocate for disarmament when acting as ambassadors of our country.
For humanity to survive this dangerous period of history we must all make an effort to participate in the governance of our global community. Through studying geo politics individuals can empower themselves with an understanding of the processes involved in international decision making. This knowledge will then act as a tool helping us to assert our agenda in this arena.
