A Dumb Policy on Nuclear Weapons: Does It Matter? - 'Today President Obama announced a new strategic policy with regard to the use of nuclear weapons...On its face, that is unbelievably stupid. A country attacks us with biological weapons, and we stay our hand because they are "in compliance with the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty"? That is too dumb even for Barack Obama. The administration hedged its commitment with qualifications suggesting that if there actually were a successful biological or chemical attack, it would rethink its position...' [Most dangerous President ever.]
To them, today's announcement is another sign that our government has gone soft, and one more inducement to undertake aggressive action against the United States. --- From the article
Or even more likely, against regional foes that are US allies.
It heightens the probability of violent aggression worldwide.
By disempowering the US and the West, the likelyhood of violent conflict and war is increased. It's New Leftism at its core. Relativism and radical egalitarianism....and it leads inevitably to conflict.
