Rachel Maddow
interviewed Joe Cirincione, an expert in nuclear weaponry. The
interview was chilling. I paste it below because you and everyone
you know, everyone you love, everyone you care about or even do not care about must know what a
president with no ethics, no values and no intellect is doing. Trump is
taking us -- all of us -- to the abyss.
I
believe most, especially if one is under a certain age, have no idea of
the reality of nuclear war. Many, I fear, because of the
American losses of war post WWII want to blast an enemy
into oblivion, regain our face in the world and cheer as if it were Tom
Brady
throwing an 80 yard pass for the win. There will be no winning a
nuclear war and North Korea is, face it, a nuclear powered nation with a
leader possibly as unstable as Trump. North Korea will never give up
its nuclear weapons and as stated in "Arms Control Association" and
written by Kingston Reif, "Trump has declared his ambition to “greatly
strengthen and expand” U.S.
nuclear weapons capabilities and has criticized the 2010 New Strategic
Arms Reduction Treaty with Russia, suggesting he may be looking to
change nuclear policy in significant ways." The possibility that each
power, North Korea and the US will get their wish and explode one as one
head of state taunts the other authoritarian dictator provoking the
possibility of conventional and nuclear confrontation not decreasing it.
We
are one minute to midnight, a book written by Michael Dobbs, explaining
in detail the Cuban missile crisis of 1960. It was as close to a
nuclear war as this nation has ever come with an adversarial power as
mighty
as our own. Luckily, then, for us, that we elected a president who had
a
brain, soaring intellectual curiosity and a penchant for empathy. The
crisis was
averted by the Soviet Union (at the time) dismantling the nuclear
weapons in Cuba 50 miles off our coast and the little known compromise
of the US dismantling its nuclear weapons in Turkey pointed at
Russia. These were two powers that understood what devastation nuclear
war could bring and who did not spew puerile taunts to one another like
teenagers proving their manhood but through back
channel negotiation saved the world from an unwinnable nuclear exchange
and its unspeakable destruction. There is no winning a nuclear war.
My
fear is the aggressive among us do not know nor understand the
devastating blow a nuclear explosive exchange would have. Therefore,
along with Rachel's interview of Joe Cirincione, I am enclosing, too,
what the detonation of a nuclear device meant in 1945 with bombs called
Fat Man and Little Boy that were deployed over Hiroshima and Nagasaki,
Japan to end WWII. The nuclear bombs then were far less destructive
than what our nation possesses now and our nation has thousands of
them. I
urge everyone to watch no matter how difficult to hear the interview
and view the other links below I am enclosing to see. Then forward it
to all you know, to all you care
about and love so they can see what the explosion of a nuclear device
really means. Tell them to forward it to all they know hoping that
eventually
this warning can circle the globe.
Donald J. Trump is no joke. He is
mean, he is an ethically barren mendacious monstrosity and he is an
incurious man with feeble intellect. He is taunting an authoritarian
Kim Jong Un who is simply deliriously thrilled to show his power and
explode a nuclear device on our allies, our territories and on our
mainland if possible. The poisonous cancer inducing radiation alone from a nuclear blast
will spread around the world as the testing of these bombs both above and
below ground has shown. The destruction will be enormous and
unspeakable.
The
people have seen to it to elect the madness of Trump. We, all of us,
are one minute to midnight and no one nuclear bomb shelter will save all
of humanity. "Now I become death destroyer of worlds" -- J. Robert
Oppenheimer, the head of the Manhattan project that developed the
nuclear bomb, said quoting from the Bhagvad Gita after viewing the bomb's test.
Watch and learn what we could face and then RESIST as strongly as you can with whomever you can to avert this now nearly all too certain devastating possibility.
