I endorse the statement issued by the International Union of Scientists Against Militarism and the Destructive Use of Science and Technology on 29 June 2025, calling on scientists worldwide to oppose the use of science for military aggression, redirect research toward peace and the service of humanity, speak out against militarism and the misuse of scientific knowledge, and unite in support of justice, planetary well-being, and a world free of wars of aggression.

From A German War Primer, Bertolt Brecht

WHEN THE LEADERS SPEAK OF PEACE
The common folk know
That war is coming.
When the leaders curse war
The mobilization order is already written out.

WHEN IT COMES TO MARCHING MANY DO NOT
KNOW
That their enemy is marching at their head.
The voice which gives them their orders
Is their enemy's voice and
The man who speaks of the enemy
Is the enemy himself.

THOSE AT THE TOP SAY: PEACE
AND WAR
Are of different substance.
But their peace and their war
Are like wind and storm.

War grows from their peace
Like son from his mother
He bears
Her frightful features.

Their war kills
Whatever their peace
Has left over.
