LAW’s All Things Nuclear Thoughts for Today . . .

About the potential of nuclear war: There is really no such thing as “getting ready” for nuclear war. Especially an all-out nuclear war among any two nuclear endowed nations, which — meaning WWIII — will happen whenever one nation drops a full-fledged nuclear bomb on a second nation, causing every other nuclear armed country to enter the fray, mistaking “offense” as “defense”, much like carp swarming over an unnecessary food fight that is entirely destructive that does nothing productive to satisfy their common hunger. Instead, where humanity and other life are concerned, causing a likely mostly baron planet Earth with virtually no life at all.

It astounds me, oddly and strangely, hat our only existing ability to prevent nuclear war is to rely on something called “nuclear deterrence”, which consists of building a and stockpiling more and more, and more, nuclear warheads as time goes by so that our “despised and untrustworthy neighbor(s)” are inclined not to, or afraid to, attack one another. All it really means is that humanity fails to trust our neighbor(s) even moreso than when there were actual international agreements, pacts, and agreements once honored but now violated, torn up, and demoted to something called “file 13”. It tells me that international leaders of a nuclear-armed country cannot be trusted.

I suspect that the never-ending cost of this ridiculous idea of “deterrence” will one day become too expensive for one of the nuclear-armed countries that it can no longer afford to continue the financial drain of “nuclear deterrence” will of necessity turn “nuclear deterrence” into financial depletion”, meaning, if nothing else starts nuclear war, money will.

A financially distressed world leader may very well decide one day to say, “to hell with deterrence — we can’t afford it anymore”, and bomb their most hated “neighbor”.

That’s all it will take to create our own “armageddon”. ~llaw
