On June 4th and 6th, the U.S. Air Force and Space Force conducted tests of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). The weapons were launched from the Vandenberg base in California and were pointed toward the Marshall Islands.
In a piece for Jacobin, Emma Claire Foley writes that the ICBMs “are not only strategically impractical but a threat to the lives of millions.” Foley is a specialist on nuclear-weapons policy issues with RootsAction.org. RootAction is a member of Defuse Nuclear War, a coalition dedicated to reducing the risk of nuclear war. Defuse Nuclear War has condemned ICMBs, and called the tests a “wasteful, dangerous step backward for peace.”
Foley joins A Public Affair host Allen Ruff to discuss the tests, the global state of nuclear weapons, and the pushback against nuclear war.
Emma Claire Foley is a writer and filmmaker based in New York. Her writing and commentary has appeared in Newsweek, NBC, the Guardian, and elsewhere.
