'We need to work with Russia to free our world from nuclear weapons.'
Chimps engage in war. Humans have likely engaged in war, at least intermittently, since the beginning of our life as a species. But wars vary dramatically in their conduct, scope, and effects. I am more afraid of this war in Ukraine than I have been of any war in my life, and I'm 72. We need to be creative, thoughtful, and move forward with humility, knowing that we all have areas of ignorance and that we need one another.Russia is not the only country to threaten the use of nuclear weapons.
Fortunately, Ukraine and Russia are negotiating. They are the countries that need to work out a peace agreement. But other nations can nurture peace. The U.S. and Russia each has over 5,000 nuclear weapons in their inventories. China comes in third with 350. Belgium, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, and Turkey, all NATO members that do not have their own nuclear weapons, have small numbers of U.S. weapons on bases in their countries.
I encourage the U.S. to take these two steps: First, to talk with the governments of the five NATO countries which house those comparatively few U.S. nuclear weapons and remove those weapons from those countries. Second, to change our attitude towards the TPNW. We have said that we support abolishing nuclear weapons. e frequently repeat Reagan and Gorbachev's affirmation that"Nuclear war cannot be won and must not be fought." Now we need to again act on that understanding.
