The attached opinion article offers well-considered food for thought on the question of nuclear deterrence or nuclear disarmament, something that I will explore in depth on this website as time goes by.
In a truly sophisticated civilized world there would be no question that disarmament is the only choice, but we have a world full of governmental leaders who are full of megalomaniacal hubris who cheat and lie behind the scenes of public discourse, so it would seem that true disarmament could never be achieved.
But by the same argument, how much faith can we have in deterrence when we already have a world with nuclear missiles pointed and poised to fire at each other? ~llaw
