Nuclear bombs enrich weapons manufacturers, endanger everyone

 Ban nuclear weapons  http://www.nwherald.com/2015/03/10/letter-ban-nuclear-weapons/ahb6avx/ Bernice Russell March 22, 2015 Austria and 40 nations met to ban nuclear weapons, but the U.S. and allies opposed banning.

U.S. military and the war industry want additional nuclear bombs and nuclear missiles (bombers) for delivering bombs – radioactive bombs stronger than the one dropped on Hiroshima, which killed thousands.

For 50 years, the Los Alamos Laboratory engineered profitable versions of nuclear bombs. The U.S. had 800 nuclear bombs and plans on producing 500 more of a new version at $20 million each, totaling $10 billion more in government military spending.

Only 300 are deployed at bases with nuclear missile capability. Two hundred bombs are at bases in Italy, Turkey, Netherlands, Germany. Ten million Germans would be killed in nuclear exchange. U.S. European command, former Defense Secretary Colin Powell, etc. find no military value in European nuclear bombs.

Regarding the new nuclear missile, or long-range bomber with government spending $80 billion, to target China possibly, the Congressional Research Service finds over 80 percent of crude oil supplies to Japan, South Korea and Taiwan flow through the South China Sea, and long-range bombers could check any potential adversary to threaten us and our allies “access to Asia commons” – i.e. oil, imports.

More nuclear bombs and nuclear missiles are unnecessary government military spending to profit war businesses.

Ban them and older nuclear weapons.
