“Teller contended, not implausibly, that hydrogen bombs keep the peace, or at least prevent thermonuclear war, because the consequences of warfare between nuclear powers are now too dangerous. We haven't had a nuclear war yet, have we? But all such arguments assume that the nuclear-armed nations are and always will be, without exception, rational actors, and that bouts of anger and revenge and madness will never overtake their leaders (or military and secret police officers in charge of nuclear weapons). In the century of Hitler and Stalin, this seems ingenuous.” WarSeemsActorsNationsSecretLeaderCenturyMilitaryDangerousHavensWeaponsConsequenceArgumentMadnessPoliceAssumingRevengeNuclearRationalBombsExceptionOfficersNuclear WeaponsWarfarePolice OfficerNuclear WarHydrogenNuclear PowerSecret PoliceHydrogen Bomb Author:Carl Sagan
