I was born in 1959 and grew up with the spectre of world atomic war ... by the mid 1990s it had faded away with SALTIII and the dismantling of the former Soviet Union.
The return of atomic war looks to be quite possible with this new kid on the block, who is apparently less than thirty years old and keen to prove his mojo is as big as anyone else's mojo.
I earnestly hope that this does not create the next arms race. Nobody will win. We will all lose - and future generation will wear the cost.
Regards,
Tony Barry
