The man who inspires Trump to use the Madman Theory.......
"In October 1969, the Nixon administration indicated to the Soviet Union that "the madman was loose" when the United States military was ordered to full global war readiness alert (unbeknownst to the majority of the American population), and bombers armed with thermonuclear weapons flew patterns near the Soviet border for three consecutive days" Wikipedia
If Trump had been reading history instead of Hitler's speeches, he might have realized that the Madman theory led only to more slaughter, never to peace.
"Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it." Santayana
Those who defend state terrorism fail to understand that it is not only the tool of Tyrants but leads to death and destruction.
Why would anyone in his right mind support a man who wants more capacity to destroy the earth not 30 times but more? To argue that this is a "negotiating tactic" is like claiming a man brandishing an assault weapon is negotiating.
150,000 died in Hiroshima, almost all women, children, the elderly, and the wounded. Today, we have the power to destroy 2 million Hiroshimas....do we need more?
It is not the people but the new Trump regime which seeks to reverse the decline in nuclear weapons and begin an arms race.
" In a 2002 CCFR survey, 22% of Americans said that the US should never use nuclear weapons under any circumstances, 55% said only in response to a nuclear attack, and 21% said that in certain circumstances, the US should use nuclear weapons even if it has not suffered a nuclear attack. These numbers remained remarkably consistent over the next decade, with replies in 2010 being exactly the same 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair Poll found that 35% most fear a nuclear war putting an end to humanity, compared to 23% who worry about a deadly virus, 15% the Rapture, 15% global warming, and 8% an asteroid hitting the Earth.
And to round out the subject, in a 2010 Pew survey 64% approved of Barack's Obama's declaration that the US would never use nuclear weapons against a nation that did not have them, but 30% did not want to take that option off the table" source: Roper Center
Underground test 1962. The next year, JFK signed the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.
Three months later, he was murdered.
So a robust majority of Americans do not support first strike or escalating the risk with threats. This highlights the fact that Trump does not represent most people but a minority which includes those who fear the Rapture more than a Nuclear War.
