Why do men think more power to weapons brings more safety when it does the opposite? Madness took over Edward Teller's mind when he invented the Backyard Bomb. It was too large to move. But it didn't have to be moved. If this multi magaton monster had exploded it would have caused nitrogen in the air to explode and burn up Earth and all forms of life.
So the beat of the drum and the rattle of the saber keep destroying Earth to smithereens, a nuclear age coined word. Nuclear bomb and nuclear missiles never stopped any war after WWII because it is a violation against genocidal weapons. They do not deter wars because thy are used to threaten other nations. However, threats are carried out by demented leaders. Many hands make them entirely perilous.They do not protect anyone due to war revenge. Decades ago I bought President Mikhail Gorbachev's book A Time For Peace and have been impressed ever since with the wisdom of former president of Russia who was instrumental in changing his government from Communism to a Social Democracy, the same value as Senator Bernie Sanders.
Meanwhile US leaders waged the Vietnam War to kill Communists in a civil war, not ours. We'll never know the amount of the dead that goes on killing in the aftermath by Agent Orange and other war toxins as babies of young soldier are ofton born deformed. Mikhail Gorbachev's astute world message of evolved wisdom in A Time For Peace is more urgent now than ever before. Such a remarkable reformer has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize besides a long list of other significant honors that become an honest man.
The United Sates must focus on its top priority–not the lust of war but the love of peace. It is overtime to stop U.S. rival political parties squabbling over foolish fickle politics that fixate on ousting presidents from office even before taking the oath, as what happened in the last two elections.
Unification of peace nations must show justice for all. By allowing super power nations a pass in a dichotomous dual law and order, Justice lifts her head and screams out WOOOO! Law and order is for all nations, especially those stockpiling nuclear bombs and combatant nuclear nosecone rockets and their carriers–as these same super powers say nay to other nations. All national leaders harboring nuclear weapons are human beings subject to error, mistakes and insanity that can cause doomsday on Earth our only home, by many hands ever ready to push a nuclear code–what no mortal should ever be allowed to do.
Prudent leaders must ban nuclear wars forever, a global nightmare. Politicians and military leaders in defense of futile war are becoming increasingly more vicious in a flat bellicose chorus. As President Gorbachev wrote, Communication and TV personalities in defense of foreign aggression and the military industrial complex offense are '"rubbing their hands together" like hawks in a war economy for death and destruction. We all must be vigilant watch-dogs demanding end of terrorism and violence of wars that are stressing world fear. Global prayers are offered daily for international peace. However, freedom can only come from end of nuclear war threats. On the other hand the great Mahatma Gandhi wrote, "Peace can only come from within each soul." No a bad quest for everyone.
The U.N. Security Council and International Law through its Court (ICC) must enforce severe punitive action, not sanctions that decrease their food and other necessities. Futile wars harm children, youth soldier sacrifices, women and the environment the most.
Outlawing nuclear wars would make missile testing redundant and stop nuclear fallout circling Earth ever since the first atomic bombs were invented. This would be the best relief of caner and other maladies. Without nuclear wars there's bi no need for testing, inspecting and weapons that cause war-torn babies
