End the Nuclear Threat
February 11th, 2016
Treaties pledging not to be first to attach don’t work; no one would ever suggest they would be the first, but only in retaliation. Promises to anihilate an enemy who uses against the promiser are empty threats, as the enemy supposes the anihilated would be unable to carry through on the threat.
Perhaps, the only thing that might work is a world-wide agreement that, if one nation (or entity) used an atomic weapon, than that nation/entity would be henceforth and evermore an international pariah, ineligible for participation in any sort of trade with the rest of the world.
