And Sunday will be Nagasaki Day. In the couple of days between these two vile anniversaries it always occurs to me how people often say of nuclear weapons, and in defence of “deterrence”, that having used them once surely no-one could ever contemplate using them again, as if those responsible for dropping the first nuclear bomb on a city didn’t go and do the same thing again less than a week later.
As good a point as needs making in the face of that specious argument, Dominic! And nicely put.
