Page 4: No need for nuclear weapons
October 26, 2022
Clearly putting men in power has done nothing but prove they are emotional and go on huge ego trips.
From war threats to wiping out almost entire countries.
In August 1945, Japan lost an estimated 200,000 people to the first atomic bomb used in warfare.
So why give them access to nuclear bombs?
Recently, Vladimir Putin, the Russian dictator, threatened to use the missiles on countries who tried to interfere with his unfair attacks on Ukraine.
Kim Jong-Un, the North Korean dictator, is now making threats towards the world.
He recently dispatched North Korean war planes to the South Korean border.
He has also been supervising nuclear missile testing.
At the end of the day nuclear bombs do nothing but harm civilians peace.
There’s no reason one country should have over 1,000 nuclear weapons in their possession. Russia has an estimated 5,997 bombs.
The United States has 5,248.
Why?
There’s only 195 countries in the world..
So what could possibly be the desire for that many world-ending rockets?

I don’t think the phrase “putting men in power has done nothing but prove they are emotional and go on huge ego trips” is fair, nor does it tell a complete picture. Men have done good things, they just have to have. From signing treaties to funding projects helping natural disaster survivors, and also protecting nations from outside threats. None of that was approved or aided by men? Is that what you are saying? That’s simply not true. Yes, men have been predominantly in power throughout history for one reason or another, I don’t deny that, so when a man goes nuts, it’s not because he’s a man, it’s because that’s a simple matter of probability to determine that of course, a few men out of the many go crazy. I don’t defend those who do, but it isn’t insane that occasionally men become power-tripping, ego-fueled jerks, but the same can be said of women in power. Hillary Clinton has made mistakes as well. Likewise, Catherine the Great ruled over a system based on serfs (a form of slave labor) To say that men do nothing but bad, is simply not true, nor can anyone say that women do nothing but good. Nothing is as simple as that.
As well as this, it can be argued the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were seen as necessary. The Japanese had a culture centered around a lack of surrender, seen most predominantly in the kamikaze runs. The other option besides dropping the bombs on Japan was a land invasion and the predicted death toll would have been over a million U.S. lives, not even including Japanese or any other soldiers. As well as this, as is the case with any other invasion, civilians will get caught in the crossfire, arguably more than died in the bombs.
As for the quote “There’s no reason one country should have over 1,000 nuclear weapons in their possession,” I wholeheartedly agree. That number is way too high. I think it should be zero, but others disagree. I wish that your article focused on nuclear bombs not being necessary as opposed to starting with a blatant lie based on gender. That took my focus off the point I think you were trying to make.
