promised that he would reduce the role that nuclear weapons played in America’s national security strategy. His successor has done the opposite. In a review of nuclear policy published in February 2018, Donald Trump seemed to expand the circumstances in which America might use nuclear weapons first, to include cyber-attacks on the networks that transmit presidential orders to silos, submarines and bombers.
Estonia and Taiwan would like Russia and China, respectively, to face similar uncertainty. Thus when Mr Obama toyed with the idea of pledgingduring his administration, Britain, Japan, France and South Korea—all American allies facing more populous foes—lobbied successfully against such a move.-sceptics also point to the increasing potency of non-nuclear weapons.
Excellent, ewarren!
Uh yeah. Didn’t we already decide this decades ago?
If you don't at least rule out a first use, don't be surprised that many middle powers want to have them, too!
Our enemies will be glad to hear that.
Well that’s just the dumbest thing ever
By the time a response is allowed they'll be dead.
Signing her political death warrant
The US foreign policy should be aimed at nuclear reductions by all countries and push for a No Win policy.
I believe the first use was done already...
Typically idiotic, ewarren. Promise any potential nuclear attacker they get a free first shot. Thank god you'll never be in charge.
Idiot
That’s not something you announce as a matter of policy....
Exceptionally moronic to make that statement 🤦

As soon as one great power shuts down their 'nuclear defense programs' the next world war will begin..
Liz, I live ya, but improving international geopolitics is not something you do with a single change in policy. Nobody wants a country with nukes to do *anything* abrupt. Even taking a step back can be scary if someone else is relying on you being one step ahead.
Really? Really? You have an issue with A position that states the united states should not randomly kill millions of people?
The US is stoking wars with China and Russia. I will advise them to be careful with Russia. Russians are no nonsense people and will not hesitate to attack where they are threatened. Station your troops in Poland and see what happens.
Good
The 'No First Use Policy' would encourage Chinese hegemony in Asia. India too hints it favours revision due to Political situation in rogue countries in the neighborhood.
I think that tea totaling may suggest that there is deception with the weight. Maybe turn the nuke threat on the USA internal to see if people want it more or less.More or less yankee lodestar fraud factories with law,medicine and tech impaired by the unethical radio head.TUR.BAC
No. It is an idiocy to outlaw use of a weapon and still keep building and maintaining them
Trouble with these proposals even if they become law is they are like new year resolutions- practically useless. If you do not want unhealthy food, do not buy it. Writing a million manuals like “how to resist junk food kept in your fridge never works”. Simply do not go nuclear.
👀
No
your question reminds me of when bush the elder was campaigning against ronald raygun, and bush said nuclear war was winnable. or govt advice for surviving an attack - dig a hole, get in, cover it with door, then shovel some dirt on top of the door. while you're in the hole.....
Giao lưu nha
yes ..
Finger wagging and smack bumming national defense strategy.
The whole objective of the US military industry is first use of nuclear weapons at the right moment.
Why do we need nuclear weapons? The collateral damage is unacceptable. One thing we can guarantee from a nuclear war, is hundreds of millions of civilian children dead. And adults.
So ewarren will let them thousands of Americans die before she would bother to try and protect us. Both as President she will be in a bunker, and we won't!
100%. First use should be illegal under international law under all circumstances.
This is smart. Thank you ewarren
History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. - Dwight D. Eisenhower
No. Deterrence is the primary element of the nuclear arms. If you remove first strike you remove the strength of the nuclear argument ... Game theory should provide a very simple explanation
Yet another good reason why a woman shouldn't be president.
There are no winners in a MAD scenario. The USA and Russia possess enough nuclear missiles within their submarine force to destroy each other several times over plus other countries. There is no defense from MAD!
WHY NOT
As the only country to ever use these weapons, we know firsthand the consequences so how is this even a question?
What a terrible idea
One day...maybe when Russians finally tire of being under the boot of some ultra prison gaurd...after ultra prison gaurd...
How about politicians stick to politics and leave stategy to experts
First use of nuclear weapons ended WWII early and saved countless American and Japanese lives.
Just what the Russian, Chinese and every other tin pot dictator or jihadists terrorists want to hear. How dumb can you be and still breathe😃😃😃
And there it is! Idiocy strike!!! She give any thought how that would signal open season on the US? After her, she eventually gets replaced and the next guy is stuck with prosecuting a war that now needs to be 100 times harsher than if we simply prevented being attacked.
Good for her! We should never be the aggressor. NoMoreWars
I see, so total annihilation is not a deterrent, but some legislation will put the fear of God into them!?
Democrat Kool aid
World is failing to stop Indian atricities in Kashmir where ppl are butchered its a nuclear flashpoint after that there will be no economy or Economist
Yes. I truly thought we were committed to NOT obliterating the planet.
India SANG the EXACT SAME tune for DECADES but yesterday I read that EVEN INDIA WOULD NOT hesitate to make the FIRST move
That's the stupidest thing I've heard...today. The point of MAD is that nobody uses a nuke because they will be obliterated. And it's worked fairly well. It also means that anyone who uses a nuke will not be able to perform a second strike on another target.
Soon, she'll be promising free lunches, and work-free income. Oh, she already has? Crap, maybe she can just promise us no more death.
Never going to happen.
It doesn’t matter what she says because what she would do is different. Democrats are already thought of as weak on defense. Females are automatically thought weak on defense. To compensate, female presidents will act like Xenia, the Warrior Princess. They will overreact.
Yes. Next
Nobody would be around to scold us if we broke our word, so why not?
