Not long after last year’s ‘Nuclear Posture Review’, in which top American officials insisted world peace depended upon a massive nuclear rearmament program, and after two major nuclear strike false alarms in Hawaii and Japan, US media is now instilling further panic with two new rumors: that of a long-range North Korean missile strike, and that of a Russian ‘doomsday’ nuclear torpedo attack on the US coastlines.

This could be surmised from the nuclear paradox.  It tells us that nuclear armament incentivizes the nuclear armament of existing geopolitical competitors, while at the same time incentivizing interventionism against non-nuclear states through increasing their perceived costs of resistance.

The beneficiaries in this seemingly zero-sum game?  Arms manufacturers, of course, but also US uranium producers, who in a complete coincidence are currently agitating for protection from foreign competition.
