US leadership vetoes steps toward nuclear weapons-free worldWorst case scenario: the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference of 2015 has failed to make progress in controlling nuclear weapons at the same time that an Israeli Air Force F-16 with Saudi markings, acting on behalf of Saudi Arabia, may have dropped a neutron bomb on Yemen.

Best case scenario: the nuclear non-proliferation conference has failed to make progress on controlling nuclear weapons, increasing the odds that the worst case scenario is, if not already a reality, an ever-present possibility.
In either case, Saudi Arabia has again floated hints that it will get a Saudi bomb, by buying it from Pakistan if necessary. Or maybe it’s a done deal already.
In a world where six of the world’s nine nuclear-armed states are already directly or indirectly engaged in armed conflict, even the best case scenario is a disaster. The nuclear-armed US and Russia are facing off over Ukraine. The nuclear-armed US, UK, France, and Israel are supporting Saudi Arabia’s war on Yemen, with nuclear-armed Pakistan weighing its options. The only nuclear-armed states engaged in relative peace are China, India, and North Korea.
