โThe Murderous Madness of Trillions for Nuclear Weapons
Strategic Culture Foundation (RSS)
W.J. ASTORE
Supporting trillions of dollars โto update and modernize our nuclear arsenalโ is akin to advocating for more production of Zyklon B and improved gas chambers.
Incendiary claim? I think not. Like Zyklon B, nuclear weapons are genocidal. They are designed to kill millions; used en masse, they will kill billions. They are ecocidal as well; nuclear weapons with their intense heat and blast and radiation kill virtually everything in their radius. How can anyone whoโs sane want more of them?
I happened to catch Kelly Ayotte, a former U.S. senator whoโs now the Chair of the Board of Directors for BAE Systems, a major weapons contractor, say that sheโs โalwaysโ been a strong supporter of updating and modernizing the U.S. nuclear arsenal. Of course, she and her company stand to profit from this. But at what cost to life on this planet?
Nevertheless, nuclear โmodernizationโ proceeds apace in the U.S. at an estimated cost of nearly $2 trillion over the next few decades. Is this not the very definition of a murderous insanity?
As Daniel Ellsberg pointed out, U.S. nuclear attacks plans in the early 1960s could have resulted in the death of 600 million people, mainly in China and the Soviet Union. As Ellsberg noted, the U.S. was prepared to launch 100 Holocausts in the name of defending its โideals.โ (And this was before we knew about the dangers of nuclear winter.)
This murderous madness has to stop before we put an end to ourselves and our planet.
Weโll produce new nuclear missiles like so many sausages. But itโs all OK because we need to โupdateโ and โmodernizeโ our (genocidal and ecocidal) nuclear arsenal. Sure makes me proud to be an American.
Addendum: When you think of nuclear weapons as โinvestmentsโ or as โsensibleโ (see comments), please consider this scene from โTerminator II.โ
What is โsensibleโ about any of this? Sorry, count me out of โinvestingโ in mass death via nuclear holocaust.
