Re: “We are the generation that forgot about the horror of nuclear war” (June 21, Opinion):
As somebody who grew up in america in the course of the Chilly Struggle, practising duck and canopy beneath a faculty desk, I recognize the sentiment of this opinion piece.
I can’t assist questioning how most of the international locations which have labored to construct their very own nuclear weapons would have finished so if america and different nuclear powers had lived as much as guarantees and obligations of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, to work towards the elimination of all nuclear weapons. I believe we might all really feel safer if that’s the case many international locations didn’t possess nuclear weapons.
The bullying by nuclear powers has solely served to persuade different international locations that their solely hope of defending themselves is to create their very own nuclear arsenals. In the long term, none of us is safer due to this.
