Tactical nuclear weapons

The Trump administration is advocating the development of “small” nuclear weapons.  Under current standards, the two nuclear weapons dropped on Japan are considered “tactical” nuclear weapons.

The administration argues that such weapons will make nuclear war less likely.  Unfortunately, once that line between nuclear and non-nuclear weapons is crossed, I (and many analysts) believe that an escalation will quickly follow.  We will be in an all-out nuclear exchange.  (I love the word “exchange.”  Makes it sound like Christmas presents.)

It is apparent that the people in charge, including Trump, have no idea of what they are getting into.  With good reason the “Doomsday Clock” has been moved closer to midnight.
