As a grandfather and someone who grew up in the Cold War, I was amazed to see the “Tweeter in Chief” going off about nuclear weapons. A year ago he didn’t even know what our “nuclear triad” was.
I knew early on about that Triad, as I grew up near a submarine base, along with Electric Boat where nuclear subs were made. I can still remember the fear I felt every time the sirens went off. Seven thousand nuclear warheads per side is already 7,000 too many. A dozen apiece would end life as we know it.
So why would any rational president-elect go against the progress made by every president since Nixon in reducing these weapons?
Trump’s erratic behavior has already destabilized the world and he is not even president.
