Putin’s threat to use nuclear weapons frighteningly reminds us of the necessity to ban all nuclear weapons immediately. No nuclear weapons, means no threat of mass destruction.
Suggestion:
Since this menace threatens the existence of all nations, the United Nations General Assembly should implement this disarmament with no veto being allowed from the Security Council. Any nation not complying would endure a complete trade blockade.
Going through the General Assembly is necessary because all five Permanent Members of the Security Council have veto power and possess nuclear weapons and have no interest in giving them up.
A further caution: The reaction of the joint Senate and House address by Zelenskyy (12/21/2022) was eerily similar to the vote to attack Iraq. Standing ovations are good but must be tempered with restraint to avoid MAD. So far, Biden has skillfully managed to walk the tightrope. Let’s hope this continues.
