Today, for the first time in four decades, disarmament is stalling. Nuclear arsenals may rise again. It doesn’t have to be this way. We hold the pen for our collective story. We have the power—if we choose to use it.

And the nauseating, freely, scarey thing about this is. During one of the Mango Mussolini's first briefings he asked. " What's the sense of having nukes (his word) if we can't use them?

I've been to a good few museums in my time, some of which contain the horrors of our history, but the gallery in the Hiroshima Peace Museum is the only one that made me feel physically ill at the sight of the real world examples of what nuclear weapons are capable of

I shall answer the call, but I fear that a world free of nuclear weapons is a world beyond humanity as we exist. "I Have Become Death, Destroyer of Worlds" was a prophetic statement, as more and more court that death, for the destruction of others.

Neither one of those bombs needed to be dropped. The scientists on the project begged the administration to not use them but the Truman administration wanted to send a message to the world; the USA not only has nuclear weapons of mass destruction but will use them, bow down. #CultureAgainstNukes

Or Nagasaki. The world's second nuclear attack occurred 3 days after the destruction of Hiroshima. Japan's government had apparently been too slow to respond to the unconditional surrender required in response to the destruction of Hiroshima, so the people of Nagasaki paid the price.

If Israel could use a nuclear weapon on Gaza, it would. The proximity to Jewish population centers is the reason they don't. Instead, they are decimating the population, one child at a time, with American supplied weapons. I don't really see the difference.
