TAKE A STAND!!: NUCLEAR WARFARE (SUMMARIES & MY OPINIONS)

ARTICLE -1-


SUMMARY: Nuclear warfare and the theory of nuclear deterrence is unstable, unreliable, and invalid, because "it is only theory," "it requires a commitment to mass murder," "it requires effective communications," "it requires rational decision makers," "it instills a false sense of confidence," "it does not work against an accidental use," "it doesn't work against terrorist organizations," "it encourages nuclear proliferation," "it is not believable," and "its failure would be catastrophic." The author believes that the answer to the risks posed by nuclear deterrence theory is not to shore up an inherently flawed theory, but to take a new path, a path leading to the elimination of all nuclear weapons from the planet. He also believes that if citizens raise their voices, challenge their leaders, and refuse to be docile in the face of the overwhelming threat that nuclear weapons pose to humanity, there won't be nuclear warfare in the future.


MY OPINION: I believe with David Krieger's idea, that nuclear deterrence is a theory with many flaws. I believe that nuclear deterrence are wrong and should be stopped as soon as possible, because making and keeping nuclear weapons in act of self-defence is very incorrect and unintelligent.


ARTICLE -2-


SUMMARY: Nuclear weapons are dangerous, fearful and nuclear retaliation could end up in rather catastrophe than stalemate. And also the nuclear terrorism is something to be considered. because in an age of widespread terrorism.


MY OPINION: I agree with this article, because I strongly believe that the aftermath of nuclear war would be catastrophic for everyone. And like this article, I believe that any theories, such as the threat of retaliation, are not effective and believe that it might lead to worse scenarios like nuclear war.


ARTICLE -3-


SUMMARY: Nuclear weapons have had a tremendous influence on the world's agonies and obsessions, inspiring desperate rhetoric, extravagant theorizing, and frenetic diplomatic posturing. However, they have had very limited actual impact.


MY OPINION: I disagree with John Mueller's opinion on nuclear weapon's threat, because nuclear weapons are the most destructive device that can wipe out the whole earth and could badly destabilize the life of everyone. Although I agree with the idea that nuclear weapons are a colossal waste of money.
