DONALD Trump has warned "monster" nuclear weapons could "end the world" as he sounded the alarm over atomic armageddon.

The President issued the stark warning in a TV interview on Sunday morning after he floated new arms controls with Russia and China.

In an interview with Fox News' Maria Bartiromo on her show Sunday Morning Futures, Trump said he believes nukes are one of the greatest threats to mankind.

In a chilling warning, he said if nukes are ever used again it could trigger the apocalypse.

The US has the second largest nuclear weapons stockpile in the world with around 5,000 weapons.

Russia has the most with nearly 6,000, with China a distant third with around 350.

Nuclear weapons have only been used in anger twice - when the US bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end World War 2.

Speaking on Fox, Trump said: "We spend a lot of money of nuclear weapons - the level of destruction is beyond anything you can imagine.

"It's just bad that you have to spend all this money on something that if it's used, it's probably the end of the world."

The 78-year-old went on that too many people are focused on claims of climate change - rather than tackling the global threat posed by nukes.

The President said the threat of nuclear weapons is immediate, warning: "It could happen tomorrow."

Trump explained: "I watched Biden for years say the existential threat is from the climate.

"I said 'no'.

"The greatest is sitting on shelves in various countries called 'nuclear weapons' that are big monsters that can blow your heads off for miles and miles and miles."

It comes after Europe raised the spectre of nuclear weapons - with France offering the provide the continent a nuclear umbrella to protect them from Russia.

Fears over nuclear war loom amid unprecdented tensions worldwide as war rages in Ukraine, China threatens the US over trade tensions, and North Korean despot Kim Jong-un continues to arm.

Iran is also feared to be developing nukes - with Trump sending them a letter this week calling for a new round of talks.

Russia has repeatedly rattled the nuclear sabre in the war in Ukraine - and Putin has long threatened the world with his ambitious "super weapons", such as the Satan 2 nuke.

Trump has long vowed to be the president of peace and said he wants to end wars worldwide - especially the raging conflict in Ukraine.

His comments came mere days after he revealed on Friday that it would be "great" for the world to "get rid of nuclear weapons" - prompting a response from the Kremlin.

The Republican said on Friday: "I know Russia but we have by far the most.


Trump also labelled Zelensky as "ungrateful" and believes the Ukrainian president took US cash like "candy from a baby" for war-torn Ukraine.

Top diplomats from the US including Secretary of State Marco Rubio will meet the Ukrainian delegation for talks on ending the war in Saudi Arabia in a few days.

The US President said: "It was like taking candy from a baby what he did.

"He's a smart guy, and he's a tough guy, and he took money out of this country under Biden like candy from a baby - it was so easy with that same attitude.

"I just don't think he's grateful. We gave him $350 billion."

Trump also stressed that he has been "very tough with Russia, tougher than anyone has ever been to Russia".

Trump's past comments, including labelling the Ukrainian leader a "dictator," fuelled speculation that he was siding with Moscow, and he has previously cast doubt on continued US support for Ukraine.

Slamming these claims, the Republican said: "I stopped the Russian pipeline, I'm the one that put sanctions on Russia, I'm the one that gave the Javelins, but I get along well with Putin.

"Nobody has been tougher on Russia than Donald Trump and they know that."

He added that despite the tough measures previously taken against mad Vlad's nation, he "got along with Putin," just like he "got along with Kim Jong-un" and China's President Xi Jinping.

Putin is said to be ready to talk about a truce with Ukraine as long as his conditions are met, sources in Moscow have said.

The Kremlin's conditions for a potential truce were shared last month at the US-Russian talks in Saudi Arabia, people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg.

To secure a temporary ceasefire, Putin wants a clear understanding of an eventual peace settlement and what that entails, two people with knowledge of the matter said.

As part of the agreement, Putin will demand to establish the parameters of a peacekeeping mission and which countries take part, one of the sources said.


It comes as thousands of Ukrainian troops who took control of Russian territory over the summer, have almost been "cut off" by Russian forces who have encircled them.

I'm not surprised that Trump would use fear mongering over nuclear weapons as a diversionary tactic away from the climate control problem. The most conservative of Republicans keep denying that climate change is even real, despite the clear evidence over at least the last 30 years that earth is warming up and it's well known in the scientific community what kind of effects that warming is likely to bring. One of the primary reasons for Republicans turning a blind eye to it is money. First, a lot of them make a great deal of money off gas and oil and oil and/or take big contributions from oil interests. Second, they don't want to spend the money that tackling the problem would take.

Preventing nuclear war is, of course, worth putting in effort to achieve. I agree with Trump on that in principle. However, at least that problem is entirely preventable by humankind and it's not inevitable that a nuclear conflict will ever occur. Climate change is not entirely within our control. There is a point at which the warming effect will be unstoppable, let alone reversible. It takes a long time to effect climate change and the longer we wait the harder it will be. Simply kicking the can down the road because things don't seem that bad today is a classic human bury the head in the sand kind of response. It's far better to tackle the problem than pretend it just doesn't exist.
 
Human beings possess massive egos. Even though they claim adulthood, they're mere toddlers mentally.

There's NOTHING humans can do to control or change climate, anymore than humankind could rearrange the continents, allow men to become pregnant and carry a child to term, or change the direction water drains in the northern or southern hemisphere.

Human beings are all ego (and deluded) if they really believe their species can control the climate, the seasons, sunrises, sunsets, solar eclipse, lunar eclipse, the northern lights, the rivers flow, oceanic todes, changing males into females or vice versa, or a myriad of other events/happenings/miracles.
Long after these delusional dreamers and whiners have assumed room temperature, this old, blue rock will still be orbiting our sun.
Meanwhile the millions of delusional ones among will still be trying to control the climate.


God created a good world that was subjected to futility because of the sinful, treasonous choices of the first two human beings.

I don't think anybody claims to be able to control the climate. However, we can certainly affect it. There is a massive amount of actual science that shows this, with no need to blame a sky daddy.

Yes. God is not pouring poison into to our drinking water and seas, and He is not pouring black toxic fumes into our air.
He, in His wisdom, has gifted us with great, intelligent scientist's that are trying to educate us to stop the destruction of this beautiful planet we call home.

Adam and Eve did not cause this crisis either.
 
It is a double edged sword, everyone wanted their products made in china, in order to exploit their low wage production means then sell their goods in western countries. The kicker is that the Paris accord ignores the worlds largest polluters such as China and South Eastern Asia. Russia has hyper sonic nukes that could destroy whole sections of the US at a time. Not just cities entire regions. Russia has the most powerful weapons and rockets in man kinds history. The USAs space force nuclear shields could not respond in time to get them all.

Trump if has any plan at all needs to make a plan to deal with China and their continued use and exploitation of coal fired nuclear power plants.
 
US Military Cancels Climate Change Studies Derided by Defense Secretary Hegseth




The U.S. military is canceling more than 90 studies, including some that U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth dismissed as climate change garbage.[/h1]



Military and intelligence officials have over the past decade identified potential security threats from climate change that include natural disasters in densely populated coastal areas and damage to American military bases worldwide.

"The (Department of Defense) does not do climate change crap," Hegseth posted on X on Sunday. Hegseth took office in President Donald Trump's new administration on Jan. 25.

An official Pentagon account then reposted a screenshot of a story quoting Hegseth using the word and added: "Fact check true."

The Pentagon said in a separate statement that it would be scrapping 91 social science-related studies on topics ranging from global migration patterns and climate change impact to social trends and would save $30 million in a year.

It listed as canceled studies including "Social and Institutional Determinants of Vulnerability and Resilience to Climate Hazards in the African Sahel" and "Food Fights: War Narratives and Identity Reproduction in Evolving Conflicts."

A Pentagon study in 2018 found that nearly half of all U.S. military sites were threatened by weather linked to climate change.

During the previous administration, led by President Joe Biden, the Pentagon had said it would include the risk of climate change in military simulations and war games. Trump has taken a different stand.


Last week, his administration withdrew from the board of the U.N.'s climate damage fund dedicated to helping poor and vulnerable countries cope with climate change-fueled disasters. The withdrawal is one of many steps taken by Trump's administration to pull back from multilateral initiatives.


 
It is a double edged sword, everyone wanted their products made in china,

I never supported offshore manufacturing.

Its abusive and disrespectful of the workers used to produce the gods, to be imported back into the USA.

The prime beneficiaries of the outsourcing shenanigans are the evil, greedy oligarchs, and in the case of China, the Communist Party, to include it's dictator/leader, Chairman Xi.

As we've seen throughout the decades, China was using lead based paints on toys made in their country, to be used by unsuspecting US parents and children.

The entire spectacle exploits human beings to fill the coffers of greedy, selfish, uncaring US oligarchs and shysters!
 
RMan... I have to go with welkin on this one. Nuclear plants aren't powered by coal, although coal plants can be repurposed into nuclear plants. Sorry, dude.

I work in the industry, coal is indeed used in nuclear plants, but not in the main production of energy, In America we use Green Coal in steam production (low carbon coal). I am not talking about the primary power source which is uranium. Not everything you read on the internet is correct.

Fair enough. I try to learn something new every day - thank you.

So, there is no such thing as a coal fired nuclear power plant. All nuclear plants have backup generation capability that may use coal or other energy sources. Coal plays no part in the operation of a nuclear plant.

Again, you do not know what you are talking about. Coal is an important process in most nuclear plants especially in America. It is an input and required in Nuclear power plants especially if you see a dam or other hydro power around a Nuclear plant which in most cases is required.
