Nervous about nukes again? Here’s what you need to know about the Button
As a European, I am always nervous about nukes. American nukes specifically. And not so much about Trump, who is a buffoon but doesn&#x27;t actually want to get too involved in messy foreign politics, but Clinton, who as a Secretary of State has already proven to be another warmonger.<p>The US has had a blasé attitude to nuclear weapons ever since the start of the Cold War. The majority of situations where we have come close to global thermonuclear war involved careless US behaviour. The US is the only nation in the history of mankind to have used nuclear weapons at all.<p>If there will ever be a nuclear war, the US is the most likely country to make it happen. Sure, some deranged dictator might fling a single nuclear missile somewhere at some point (and it will probably be intercepted before it can do any real damage) but if I had to bet on a country to end the world as we know it, all my money would be on the US.
