Trump’s threats to destroy North Korea have the nuclear forces of Russia, China, and North Korea on edge. For our own safety, the U.S. must de-escalate all threats and military confrontations with these nuclear powers.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'>Inspired by the two Koreas agreeing to open the Winter Olympics under one flag for a unified Korea, and by the 122 nations signing the Treaty to Ban Nuclear Weapons, let’s announce a U.S. People’s Nuclear Posture of Deterrence Only to Avoid Nuclear Attack.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'>John Lewallen<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'>www.avoidingnuclearwar.com <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
