IT IS POSSIBLE TO ELIMINATE NUCLEAR WEAPONS

We are not trapped. We don’t have to wait for human nature to evolve. We don’t have to abolish war.

The experts and officials during the Cold War were fearful and awed — they exaggerated the importance of nuclear weapons. Viewed objectively, nuclear weapons are too clumsy and spread too much poison to be good weapons. They are like hurricanes: dangerous and breathtaking but difficult to use for any practical purpose.

RealistRevolt gives ordinary people the arguments that put the elimination of nuclear weapons within our grasp.
