  1. Oh, those naive days. “The Russians love their children too”, all these dreams… Funny time.

  2. Crazy left wing nutters. Polaris and Trident kept us out of the trenches.

  3. No, I am pretty sure Russia is an enemy to european peace.

  4. With my tinfoil hat on I wonder if these types of groups are formed by state actors to route out “trouble makers”.

  6. “You should totally listen to our opinions on geopolitics and defence because we studied medicine”

  7. Fascinating. Now lets see their financing structure and political leanings

  8. We definitely need mid-range nuclear missiles in the NATO borders… can we lend some to Ukraine? Just for the laughs?

    Earth is so overrated.

  10. My only enemy are the dicks that have higher rank than me in the army.

  11. [More pictures from this campaign](https://www.theguardian.com/science/political-science/gallery/2014/jul/08/beds-not-bombs-the-history-of-anti-nuclear-medical-campaigning-and-protest)

    [The organisation joined another org and rebranded as medact](https://www.medact.org/)

    [Medact receives some significant funding from certain foundations.](https://www.medact.org/about/funders/)

    Those foundations are:

    [The Polden-Puckham Foundation](https://www.polden-puckham.org.uk/) a Quaker foundation focused on nonviolence and environmental sustainability.

    [The Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust](https://www.jrct.org.uk/) a Quaker foundation focused on nonviolence and injustice.

    [Trust for London](https://trustforlondon.org.uk/) a London based charity focused on ending poverty and inequality.

    [Paul Hamlyn Foundation](https://www.phf.org.uk/) a UK based grant giving foundation focused on ending inequality.

    [Friends Provident Foundation](https://friendsprovidentfoundation.org/) focused on diversity, justice and inequality.

    Who funds the last 3 foundations I don’t know, but I’d imagine Quakers fund it through their churches. Friends Provident is probably funded by Quakers as well.

  12. oh, this organization, the people who kept blaming NATO for the Ukraine invasion? LOL

  13. Funnily enough nukes have prevented a truly major conflict better than any organisation ever could

  14. Nuclear weapons have been the biggest driver of peace in the modern era.

  15. hmm I wonder what their stance is on the russian invasion of ukraine…oh, what a surprise

  16. Ukraine 29 years after they gave up their nukes, would like to have a word.

  17. My blind ass was seeing a tree first. And I was wondering: Why do they hate trees?

  18. Is everyone in this thread blind? This poster is from the **EIGHTIES** and has nothing to do with the current geopolitical situation
