Nuclear Arms “Modernization”. How Can People of Good Will Respond?
The US is now pursuing a $1.7 trillion program to upgrade its nuclear arsenal. In response, other nuclear armed states are doing likewise, resulting in a dangerous, costly arms race. Multiple arms limitation treaties have been abandoned or are soon to expire. Most people are unaware of this ongoing program, but elected officials control the direction of our national defense posture, and popular pressure could sway the direction toward treaties and away from ever more hazardous nuclear armaments. This program will discuss the modernization program, and address how a person of good will can exert such influence.
