Denialism of leaders is affecting the public, and has gotten worse since Trump got in. We are, again, talking about imminent.

Should we throw up our hands in despair? No, says NC. There are options, straightforward. One simple solution: Obey the law.

What is the law? The Constitution, Article 6 says valid treaties are the law of the land. UN Charter requires sticking to peaceful means to resolve differences or threats. We ignore this. "All options are open," violates the law of the land.

Consider Iran. No evidence for violations of the Iran agreement. The US is radically violating this. We stand above all laws, including our own. We even have Bolton and Netanyahu literally calling for bombing Iran.

We can avoid this? Join the rest of the world and maybe improve the Iran agreement, for starters. There are ways to do this, that NC gives.

We won't even allow inspection of Israel's weapons, as required by the non-proliferation agreement. One hardly needs comment on this demented government, in the news daily, that works hand in glove with us [and imo, should be considered one and the same, with Israel having the larger grip on power. dg].

It's up to us to determine the fate of the human species, and the grains in the hourglass for action are mighty few, vanishing rapidly.
