@BillySmith @Havoc_online @EarthOrgUK @ChrisMayLA6 This is an argument for #nuclear #proliferation - for every #country in the world possessing the #Bomb - & it would be a total #catastrophe. The "Doomsday Clock" is close enough to Midnight as it is (https://thebulletin.org/doomsday-clock/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22501443327&gbraid=0AAAAAC3qOh8B6n2AN-BuFgjeMgWt94JDN&gclid=CjwKCAjwhe3OBhABEiwA6392zNs1J6KhiLe0KobzLn3aU31ispWRKfilR52su2Ap4Ky5GHAnCnxMExoC3X0QAvD_BwE#nav_menu).
