In Trump’s State of the Union he proposed building
more nuclear weapons to counter “rivals” who “challenge” U.S. “values.” The Pentagon’s new Nuclear Posture Review proposes nuclear weapons to counter even “cyber warfare” and of course for “deterrence,” but also for “
achievement of U.S. objectives if deterrence fails.”
How do we back Washington away from madness? This might help:
This past summer, former U.S. Senator Sam Nunn and former Russian Foreign Minister Igor S. Ivanov were two of the signers of a letter to presidents Trump and Putin. In it they recommended these four steps:
次の四歩を：
１）核戦争に勝利者はないから決してしないと米ロ首脳宣言を
1) “A new Presidential Joint Declaration by the United States and the Russian Federation declaring that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.”
２）新NATO－ロシア軍事危機管理グループでの軍部対軍部連絡を増加
2) “Increase military-to-military communication through a new NATO-Russia Military Crisis Management Group.”
３）テログループの手に渡らないように核と放射性物質の安全確保の協力
3) Collaborate to secure “nuclear and radiological materials” so that they do not fall into the hands of terrorist groups.
４）「誤算による戦争回避のために戦略警報システムの干渉に関するサイバー危機についての非公式了解」を創設
4) Create “informal understandings on cyber dangers related to interference in strategic warning systems . . . to prevent war by mistake.”
