“End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity”

LLAW’s Nuclear World News’ Image and/or Lead Story for Today . . .

Nuclear football | Definition, Purpose, & Contents | Britannica

Presidential Aides carrying the USA’s “nuclear football” containing the nuclear code that only the President can use to launch a nuclear weapon . . . But do we trust our current president — or any individual whomever it may be — to be the sole decision-maker whether or not to engage in nuclear war?

Hopefully, the current U.S. president, if not already, has been somehow prevented from being a part of this kind of mass global “suicidal” activity that, if ever used, would automatically bring on WWIII followed by the virtual end of humanity and other life everywhere . . .

Having such an irresponsible offensive or defensive nuclear war control system along with and considering the use of “nuclear deterrence” to avoid nuclear war makes me wonder why nuclear armed nations continue to constantly build more and more powerful missiles and weapons of mass destruction when we know that the use of just one nuclear bomb, even from an older stockpile, would be exactly like the little old match that burned down the entire forest and everything around it.

IMHO, it is —pure and simple — human insanity caused by multiple mental incapacity by al international l self-aggrandizing leaders who believe they can rule the world via all kinds of negative mental aberrations far too plentiful to bother to mention here. ~llaw

An Important Message from:

Lloyd Albert Williams/Pendergraft, Content Creator . . .

This daily blog post will, for the next several issues at least, contains only the daily compiled LLAW’s Nuclear World News Today for an unknown period without comment or critique because my eyesight has quite suddenly become impossible for me to continue. (Google compiles the category lists from news sources for me automatically during the course of a day, so the articles and stories themselves are not a problem to post, although they are often out of category order, which I will do my best to correct each day.)

But, rest assured, I’m not going away — I am doing everything in my power to remedy the problem with my eyes — and I hope to return to a full daily report, including new, stronger and more internationally important commentary, of “All Things Nuclear” as soon as I am physically able . . . ~llaw\
