Why does the US ruling elite think the country "needs" to have such a large nuclear arsenal--or indeed, any nuclear arsenal at all?
They claim they are defending "civilization". What twisted idea of "civilization" is this that would require even one nuclear weapon to defend it?
There is another, more plausible explanation: it is that the ruling elite wants the US--with a total of just 4 percent of the world's population!--to continue to exercise hegemony over the entire world. Under this explanation, the use of the bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the prime example of the doctine of "shock and awe", otherwise known as terrifying/terrorizing the rest of the world until it bows to Washington's will.
Enough. Enough. Let's start working seriously, from here on, for a truly nuclear-weapons-free world.
