It Is Possible: A Future Without Nuclear Weapons by Ward Hayes Wilson

The lesson most people drew from Hiroshima is, "Huh. So bombing civilians does win wars." But the people who drew that conclusion were wrong. The painful failure of Russia's attacks on civilians in Ukraine is just further evidence of that fact.

Are nuclear weapons immoral? You bet. Are there strong pragmatic arguments for eliminating them? Right again.

I wrote a short piece about nukes and morality.

Will President Trump use nuclear weapons in Iran? Paul Slovic and Rose McDermott make a psychology-based argument that it is entirely possible.

Must read.

Follow up on my previous post about the increasing anger and aggression expressed in the U.S. president's words and deeds. Concern about his mental stability is genuine and widespread. Some samples.

It seems increasingly clear that in his anger and outrage, President Trump may well turn to the use of nuclear weapons to coerce Iran.

How to prevent President Trump from using nuclear weapons? Bar the offensive use of them in law.

The only thing worse than war crimes? Futile war crimes.

I explain why bombing civilians won't win the war in Iran.

Big, big news. 91% of Americans want a new treaty with Russia that either freezes nuclear weapons where they are or reduces their numbers.

The numbers are stunning. If you think Americans "don't care" about nuclear weapons. Think again.

I was recently invited on Michael J. Ard’s (former CIA) excellent podcast, Inside Intelligence, to talk about why nuclear weapons haven’t been used in 80 years and whether they might be used sometime in the near future.

The meaning of the 80th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima today should not be that we need to be more afraid, more appalled. What we need instead is realism, determination, empowered, and pragmatic. https://t.co/tWborqpLUJ

In a response to Noah Smith @noahpinion, I argue that Japan, South Korea, and Poland should not buy nukes.

@StimsonCenter event, @WardHayesWilson rebuked the nuclear narrative: 1. Japan surrendered due to Soviet entry, NOT Hiroshima 2 Nukes are militarily USELESS—kill both sides, spread radiation 3. Deterrence requires impossible human perfection. #Factsoverfiction #nuclearmyths

[Ward Wilson @WardHayesWilson]

How do we know Japan's leaders surrendered because the Soviet Union unexpectedly declared war and came in on the side of the US?
