Gorbachev And The New Nuclear Arms Race

Gorbachev recently said during an interview that the world is more unsafe now than ever before. The nuclear weapons threat is escalating.

Instead of sensible world leadership that seeks the resolution of conflict and the reduction and elimination of nuclear weapons, we have instead the opposite.

The new nuclear arms race between Russia and the U.S. is ignored or applauded, despite its complete stupidity, harmfulness and wastefulness.

Other countries seek to become nuclear powers or expand the nuclear arsenals they already have.

Religion, ethnicity, nationalism and any other reason driving the nuclear arms race means nothing once the weapons are unleashed.
