So, instead of mimicking Cold War-era treaties, it is necessary to launch an international discussion about the role of military force and nuclear weapons in the world as it is now evolving. We might then eventually recognize that eliminating nuclear weapons is not just a myth, but a harmful myth, and that nuclear weapons are a useful asset that has saved, and may continue to save, humanity from itself.
因此除了复制冷战时期的条约之外，还有必要发动一场关于军事力量和核武器究竟在当今世界扮演何种角色的讨论。我们可能会最终承认消灭核武器不仅是个幻想，而且是一个有害的幻想，而核武器将成为一项能够给人类以救赎的有用资产，并将一直救赎下去。
