Nuclear Weapons We are now in a chaotic and unstable time internationally. The US, the only country to have used nuclear weapons, now believes it has the right to overtly threaten or use nuclear weapons at will. These are weapons that should never have been used and have deeply eroded a sense on moral code for humanity’s collective behavior. At the same time, an historic global achievement was reached in 2017: The UN treaty of the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. Although the US is the leading voice opposing this treaty, with a handful of countries following, the vast majority of the world is moving forward to close the door forever on nuclear holocaust. Let us move inspired by the global community. Let us strive to bring local, state governments and institutions to comply with this treaty, thus bringing the moral pressure to the Federal government. Let us do all we can, finding all creative ways, to protect life on earth from nuclear war and all war.
