I’ve been troubled by this a bit. Is it OK to support your nation having nuclear weapons?
Clearly it would not be OK to support the use of nuclear weapons, given that they would be used against innocent civilians, but to possess a nuclear deterent means the threat to use them (on innocent civilians) is clearly implied.
Is it acceptable to support the possession of nuclear weapons and the threat to innocent civilians that this deterent entails, but at the same time not support ever using them?
What do people think?
