- Title
Going Along with the Utter Madness of Nuclear Weapons.
- Authors
SOLOMON, NORMAN
- Abstract
The article discusses the ongoing issue of nuclear weapons and the lack of attention it receives despite the looming possibility of nuclear annihilation. The United States has withdrawn from important pacts with Russia, and the government continues to spend billions of dollars on updating and sustaining its nuclear arsenal. The article highlights the exorbitant costs of nuclear weapons and the lack of debate on the wisdom of maintaining and escalating the nuclear arms race. It also emphasizes the need for a mass movement to reduce the risk of nuclear war and the importance of eliminating intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) to decrease those dangers. The article concludes by calling for action to address the nuclear arms race and the threat it poses to humanity.
