Letter
Prescient speech by Tulsi Gabbard
Sachs and Fares sound a timely warning. US director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, has just sounded a timely warning too. Nothing “bizarre” about it, as some media would have it.
She said, “I recently visited Hiroshima in Japan and stood at the epicentre of a city that remains scarred by the unimaginable horror caused by a single nuclear bomb dropped in 1945, 80 years ago. Yet this one bomb that caused so much destruction in Hiroshima was tiny compared to today’s nuclear bombs.
“As we stand here today closer to the brink of nuclear annihilation than ever before, political elites and warmongers are carelessly fomenting fear and tension between nuclear powers. So it’s up to us, the people, to speak up and demand an end to this madness. We must reject this path to nuclear war and work towards a world where no one has to live in fear of a nuclear holocaust.“
Strong and courageous sentiments indeed!
