Steven Holt: “If we really believe that nuclear proliferation and loose nukes are the greatest threat to world peace and security, as…”

“If we really believe that nuclear proliferation and loose nukes are the greatest threat to world peace and security, as I do, as many of us do, then we should be holding on to every tool that we can find to prevent that threat. We should be working with India to strengthen the nuclear nonproliferation regime, not collaborating to destroy it. There will be a time when the history of the spread of nuclear weapons of mass destruction is written, and we will look back and see when the last thread of the nuclear nonproliferation regime was shredded with this agreement. ... History will say, mark my words, with this agreement the world lost the last bit of an international tool to control the spread of nuclear weapons of mass destruction. The regime will have been killed. All we will have left is our ability to jaw-bone with our allies and to threaten our enemies. Countries will work out whatever deals they can, two by two. This is a very dangerous moment.”
