Description

After 50 years of nonproliferation efforts and many billions spent, it is has become apparent that nonproliferation, as presently developed, is not a winning strategy. Why? I propose that nonproliferation has been a failure to date because it is essentially a Band-Aid approach to overcome the deep flaws of two strategic initiatives: (1) Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD) as an alternative No First Use deterrence strategy to preventive war: First Use of the H Bomb and total annihilation of the enemy; and (2) the proliferation of nuclear technology for the purported purpose of boiling water to turn turbines in order to produce electricity.
