Good comments. I too am glad that the USSR got the H bomb (naturally it would be better if no one had nuclear weapons). I also think that the world would be safer, not less safe if Iran developed a weapon to balance Israel’s belligerence. On the nuclear issue, America’s hypocrisy is breathtaking. So what else is new?

The crime of the century has been and is anti-communism frequently
in a Left-liberal disguise. I mean sections of the Left like the neo-marxists, “New Left” and Social Democratic currents that you see at “Socialist Scholars conferences for instance. If Julius gave radar info to the Soviets to shoot down Stuka dive bombers it probably contributed to my survival in the Bsttle of the Bulge.

They know that the only way to trick the American people into abandoning their rights and liberties is to manufacture an imaginary danger, to frighten the people into accepting repressive laws which are supposedly for their protection. (John H. Lawson).

Thank God that the Rosenbergs passed on the nuclear know-how to the Soviets. Can you imagine what the world would be like today if the US government was the SOLE possessor of nuclear capability? The whole world would be now their abject serfs…
Like the requirement for checks and balances in the US Constitution, the world needs to check and restrain a superpower that has grown too arrogant and big for its boots. We saw how this arrogance flared up after the implosion of the USSR. The ensuing cockiness has carried on to this very day.
Thank God, again, that Russia is getting back on its feet and China is soon to become a power to be reckoned with. That will only be good for World checks and balances.
Isn’t the right to possess weapons zealously guarded by Americans? So why shouldn’t any nation in the world also try to possess nuclear weapons?
If an American has this constitutional right to carry a gun for self defense, why shouldn’t any nation out there have the right to self defense too, and possess nukes?
To my mind, the more nations get nuclear weapons capability, the better. It will be good for PEACE. But if the world can’t live in peace, then, let’s blow ourselves up to oblivion nuking ourselves from every corner of the world in Grand Style!
What the heck! Why should only a few privileged nations have the power to blow us all to smithereens? Why shouldn’t I, like any citizen of this world, be able to push that button and see my own missle power off to some region of this planet, before I myself get blown off? Isn’t this denying me a fundamental right?
And after this beautiful blue planet of ours is gone, who would mourn us? NOBODY! It would just go unnoticed because of its mere insignificance. For curiously, but not surprisingly, the other Planets, Stars, Galaxies out there in this Vast Universe would continue moving, circling, contracting and expanding in their own Merry and Happy way, completely oblivious to this Cosmic Non-Event: Planet Earth’s own demise and bleep into Universal Oblivion…
The Creator wouldn’t even be roused from his sleep nor would any member of His retinue bother to bring it to His attention when He woke up, thus an event completely and totally ignored…
