I'm against fashionable thinking.

World War I broke out largely because of an arms race, and World War II because of the lack of an arms race.

There was no race - but to the extent that there was an arms competition, it was almost entirely on the Soviet side, first to catch up and then to surpass the Americans.

Projecting a persuasive image of a desirable and practical future is extremely important to high morale, to dynamism, to consensus, and in general to help the wheels of society turn smoothly.

Nuclear war is such an emotional subject that many people see the weapons themselves as the common enemy of humanity.

Hopefully, nations will refuse to accept a situation in which nuclear accidents actually do occur, and, if at all possible, they will do something to correct a system which makes them likely.
