How did we adopt this madness of self assured annhilation? Every leader, every nation should be doing everything they can to get rid of every last nuke on the planet. International verification backed by unyielding economic sanction must be a priority. All weapons grade material will be converted to other uses. Without total global cooperation and relentless perseverance, we live under the dark cloud of anxiety that sooner or later one will be detonated. We cannot afford to tolerate this possibility. This should have been done generations ago, but our leaders have been allowed to get by with lip service. Nobody wants to be nuked or wish that on anyone else. The ones who launch the strike will be protected in bunkers while others suffer the horror
As president, there would seem to be an obligation to remain sober in the event of having to launch a nuclear strike. Enjoying the best libation with other heads of state should be a diplomatic benefit meant to build friendship, yet this ominous responsibility remains.
Space should be a showcase of global cooperation, not the next arms race. The environment is also a global issue. Setting mandates is wishful thinking that may sound good yet are of little benefit while other countries pollute even more: https://waqi.info/#/c/2.702/117.873/1.7z
There should be an environmental tariff imposed on those who profit while poisoning our planet.
