THE NUKE CIRCLE OF ONE

From a Letter to the New York Times from the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation: "There are currently no restrictions on the president's single handedly deciding to use nuclear weapons for whatever reason...."

As urgently noted here before: a small, shrinking circle will make the ultimate decision "to Launch" - killing all of us, "indiscriminate slaughter" on a global scale.

The circle at the crucial moment will be a Circle of One: Pres Trump in the USA, V Putin in Russia, Pres Xi in China.

                                                    

                                                   

  
The billions of the rest of us will have no say in this ultimate, final Omnicide of the human race.


                                                  

                                                           

UNLESS, we abolish these Weapons Now and Forever. End them In OUR TIME before we run out of time and THEY END US

SUPPORT THE NEW UN TREATY BANNING NUCLEAR WEAPONS

TRUMP'S NUCLEAR "SHOCKER" NEW YORK TIMES,MARCH 6, 2017

PLEASE SEE TODAY's NYTS EDITORIAL



We can only hope that the world avoids Nuclear Armageddon until January 2021 when Nuclear Weapons sanity will once more prevail as our "Would be President" storms off into Early Retirement.

And now thanks to Mr. Trump's comments like "What Treaty?" and "What's the Triad?" the European Union itself is now considering its own Nuclear Weapons Force!

See our Jan 26 Post below on Pres Trump and the Markey/Lieu No Nuclear First Strike Bill.

Contact your Reps and Senators to support this now very necessary measure.

ABOLITION IN OUR TIME

                                                       

                                                      

STOPPING PRES. TRUMP'S FIRST STRIKE NUCLEAR OPTION!

Just two days ago, Jan. 24, Sen. Edward Markey (D-Mass.) introduced a  Senate Bill (S-200) to do just that!
                                         

                                               

"RESTRICTING FIRST USE OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS ACT 2017".
                                                  

                                                

The same bill (HR-699)was introduced in the House of Reps by Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA).
                                                    

                                                   

The bills would prohibit POTUS from launching a world-ending Nuclear First Strike without a Congressional Declaration of War - as required by our US Constitution.
                                                    

                                                   

This legislation is introduced while the Bulletin of Atomic scientists has reset the "Doomsday Clock" to two and a half minutes until Midnight! The closest the clock's hands have been to Midnight since 1953 and the advent of the world's first hydrogen/thermonuclear bombs.

The legislation has the strong support of former Sec of Defense William J Perry who stated that launching a First Strike "would likely bring about the end of civilization", "a decision that momentous... should have the checks and balances called for by the US Constitution."
                                                

                                                  

If we care about our world, our lives and future and the lives and futures of our children and grandchildren - we must support this Bill. It is a Moral Imperative.

END THIS ONE MAN NUCLEAR MONARCHY NOW
