We should not doubt that the power holders in all countries would not hesitate to count as void all the fallout, present and future, that we saw after the use of these weapons in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Civilians who bear the brunt of wars, who are left impoverished, mained and deranged are counted merely as “collateral damage” in the games played for the control of naturel resources, land or sea.
Men are vain, greedy and violent; nuclear weapons are more than dangerous, mentally in the minds of these who possess them, there are not many who would resist the idea of total destruction especially against countries that could not respond in like manner. The physical wounds inflicted are monsterous.
It is horrendous to think that the present administration disposes of these weapons and had adopted the policy of “premtive war.”

No one punished America when it repeatedly used Nukes on Japan, and no one will punish America when it uses Nukes again. The only option for Iran is to build a robust nuclear deterrence.
