JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: DISCUSSION OF WILLIAM PERRY'S NEW BOOK WARNING US ABOUT THE CONTINUED AND INCREASING THREAT OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS - PERRY IS A TECHNICAL EXPERT AND FORMER SECRETARY OF DEFENSE


COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN RUSSIA INSIDER


Very interesting article. Makes me want to read Perry's book.

Knowledge, genuine knowledge, counts for surprisingly little in an intense power center like Washington.

The only knowledge valued consistently is the knowledge needed to build a new weapon.

The drive of the neo-cons for total dominance and their eager willingness to use military power are to my mind the most destabilizing fact on the planet.

When combined with technical issues, we have a woodshed full of explosives being approached by lunatics throwing around lighted matches.
