It seems like it would be a good idea to get the United Nations’ Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (https://www.un.org/disarmament/wmd/nuclear/tpnw/ https://www.un.org/disarmament/wmd/nuclear/tpnw/) signed by more nations then, so that this technology could be safely developed without a risk of nations weaponizing it.
- nine_k 4y agoUkraine let go its Soviet-era nuclear weapons in 1991. In 2014 Russia occupied a large part of it, and in 2022 is trying to occupy it entirely. Aster this, I suppose no other nation will ever voluntarily relinquish their existing nuclear weapons, and many nations that don't have nukes will try hard to obtain them. This ship has sailed, to my mind.
