Time to stop dreaming of unicorns and have the nuclear abolitionists join the real world
There is no greater threat to the national security of Western nations than the nuclear abolitionist movement. If you want to talk about radical extremists who live among us, the Global Zero crowd are the most radical, the most extreme, and the most dangerous. They pose a far greater civilizational threat to the West than radical Islamists, radical environmentalists, and radical anti-capitalists combinedalthough many of these other categories also play a role in the anti-nuclear weapons movements. And yes, Ronald Reagans crazy talk about seeking a world without nuclear weapons was dangerous, naive fantasy land dreaming, assuming he actually believed what he was saying.
These weapons of mass destruction undoubtedly played the single largest role among all options in keeping the West safe since the end of WWII. The moment we rid the world of nuclear weapons, our adversaries (e.g., China, Russia, Iran, and pretty much the rest of the planet) will ramp up conventional weapons production, increase the number of their military personnel, and then move across what will then be the part of the world formerly known as the free lands.
