The use of nuclear weapons in a new war would mean the end of humanity. This was foreseen by the scientist Albert Einstein, who was able to measure its destructive capacity of generating millions of degrees of heat that volatilizes everything in a wide radius of action. The brilliant researcher was the driving force behind the development of this weapon before the genocidal Nazi regime had it available.
Any government in the world is obliged to respect the right to life of any nation and of all the peoples of the planet.
Today there is an imminent risk of war with the use of these types of weapons and I have no doubt that an attack by the United States and Israel against the Islamic Republic of Iran would inevitably turn into a global nuclear conflict.
The people have the duty to demand their right to live from political leaders. When the lives of your species, your people and your most loved ones are at such risk, no one can afford to be indifferent, nor can they waste a minute in demanding respect for that right; Tomorrow would be too late.
Albert Einstein himself stated textually: “I don't know what weapons will be used in World War III, but in World War IV they will use sticks and stones.” We know what he wanted to express, and he was absolutely right, except that there would no longer exist those who handle the sticks and stones.
There would be collateral damage, as American political and military leaders always claim, to justify the death of innocent people.
In a nuclear war the collateral damage would be the lives of humanity.
Let us have the courage to proclaim that all nuclear or conventional weapons, anything used to wage war, must disappear!
