Dear moderators of the US Presidential debates: How about raising the issue of how to avert nuclear war? — IPPNW peace and health blog

Will the United States and other nations survive their escalating preparations for nuclear war? That question might seem overwrought but, in fact, the US government and others are increasing the role that nuclear weapons play in their “national security” policies. Trump’s glib threats of nuclear war against North Korea and Iran are paralleled by new administration plans to develop a low-yield ballistic missile, which arms control advocates fear will lower the threshold for nuclear war.When it comes to presidential debates, dear moderators, don’t you―as stand-ins for the American people―think it might be worthwhile to ask the candidates some questions about US preparations for nuclear war and how best to avert a global catastrophe of unprecedented magnitude?
