"There is no greater threat to the national security of Western nations than the nuclear abolitionist movement."

I didn't realize I was so dangerous!

Polling Data Doesn't Support the Nuclear Abolitionists
By Sierra Rayne

There is no greater threat to the national security of Western nations than the nuclear abolitionist movement. If you want to talk about radical extremists who live among us, the Global Zero crowd are the most radical, the most extreme, and the most dangerous. They pose a far greater civilizational threat to the West than radical Islamists, radical environmentalists, and radical anti-capitalists combined – although many of these other categories also play a role in the anti-nuclear weapons movements. And yes, Ronald Reagan's crazy talk about seeking a world without nuclear weapons was dangerous, naive fantasy land dreaming, assuming he actually believed what he was saying.

Time to stop dreaming of unicorns and have the nuclear abolitionists join the real world. In the meantime, it might also be useful for our security services to investigate them for linkages to our adversaries. We've seen this movie before, like when the Soviets were financially backstopping nuclear disarmament movements in Europe and elsewhere during the Cold War. The sequel should be canceled.


Beware the Commie Menace!
They've infiltrated the highest levels of government!


The major abolition movements:
- abolish slavery
- abolish apartheid
- abolish capital punishment
- abolish nuclear weapons

It's the right thing to do.
