Gentlemen:
The Nuclear Posture Report, remember? The merits or demerits of US militarism in the Middle East or Afghanistan is not what the thread is supposed to be about. Nuclear weapon use due to doctrinal liberalisation, that's what the thread is about. Shifting emphasis from nuclear weapons for deterrence to nuclear weapons for use is a big step and may very well be found to be a big step in the wrong direction. Threatening to use nuclear weapons in retaliation for sub-military attacks as both Russia and the USA have done (I'm not sure about Chinese policy) could lower the barriers to triggering a nuclear exchange or wider nuclear war. Threatening to use nuclear weapons to defeat nuclear proliferation may have an effect opposite to what is intended and may actually accelerate the nuclear programmes of non-nuclear states. Threatening nuclear-armed states who develop and deploy space-based military and communication/navigation/surveillance capacities with nuclear pre-emptive attack may also trigger nuclear exchanges and wider nuclear war. Are these wise policies for elites, states, coalitions and the whole of humanity to support or should the world mobilise to stop these notions of liberalisation and normalisation of nuclear weapon use, before these dreadful weapons are used again in anger by responsible states?
Cheers.

There doesn't seem to be a viable group WorldWide to mobillize against Nukes. Neither with MSM access nor financial influence. The USA leads the charge with these nukes and postures an unwillingness to negotiate away these toys. Lucky that we don't have any nutballs leaders in the Military or Politics that might launch an errant Nuclear conflict, well maybe we're not so lucky. I do think the Elitist World money managers see this as a solution to World over population and simultaneously mitigate Global Warming. I guess it must be really comfy in the more elegant nuclear bunkers, eh? Is the problem proliferation. No! It is the failure to launch common sense approach to disarmament by promoters of Wars and these promoters shall go unnamed to prevent USA Corporations and politicians serious embarassment. Flagrant examples of "you can't always see dumb," because they keep gettin re-elected, don't ya' know? The USA has used 'Nukes" and continually threatens to use "nukes" and other Nations respond to those threats. Cats breed cats, eh?
