Trump abrogated the mid-range nuclear missile treaty that was an absolute necessity in Europe and would have helped address the issue of nukes and Ukraine today. I recently commented on a piece on Ralph Nader’s Radio Hour during which a guest, educated in nuclear arms, said that nuclear submarines were a deterent when compared to other delivery systems for nuclear weapons. I strongly disagree with the later concept since hydrogen bombs on nuclear submarines are subject to all sorts of negative outcomes. I worked in the nuclear freeze movement, which was well-intentioned, but resulted in just about no results in limiting nuclear weapons. It was a kind of feel-good experience for those of us left from the New Left and who wanted to make a statement about nukes. The world remains on a nuclear hair-trigger.
