Our national security and defense agenda is built primarily on an endless preparation for war. Yet shouldn’t we also prepare for peace?

Given the nuclear weapons that exist today, can we afford to only have policies geared toward keeping some people from having them? Shouldn’t we also have policies geared toward creating a world in which no one would ever even think of using them?

In the words of H.G. Wells, “If we don’t end war, war will end us.” It is thoroughly irresponsible of us to NOT discuss how we can create a more peaceful world. In the words of Dennis Kucinich, “We must challenge the belief that war is inevitable.” We must do this and do it now.

Thank you. What if one person could remove them all? It would be announced and be bilateral removal of warheads. ~~~ I appreciate your candidacy and would request that you not drop from the race until late summer 2020? You'll find that wise. - James #timetravelwish #Sol3

What does this even mean? Can anyone conceive of a policy we could enact to bring this about? I can't, unless it involves being so mighty that no warmongers would think they could survive using nukes.

🙄 Pass this along to Michelle Obama! (She'll certainly turn Barry's head around to true remorse for that "treaty" with Iran, no?)

What good would policies do when a sociopath or psychopath gets power, real power? Such people make their own policies, they don't listen to other people. As long as the weapons are there, someone will think of using them.

We should have policies geared towards legalizing private nukes.
