The number of US drone strikes is on the rise and Europe has announced to follow suit; military bases are mushrooming across the globe; the largest ever arms deals are being struck and the US recently designated nuclear weapons as part of ‘conventional warfare’. To experts, these are some indications of the unprecedented level of global militarization. The human toll of war is set to reach unseen heights.
