The U.S., as you well know, has had hot-headed, impulsive leaders, involved in, for example, the following: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish%E2%80%93American_War https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_the_Battleship_Maine_Was_Destroyed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_Missile_Crisis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_of_Tonkin_incident https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_close_calls The last entry -- Nuclear close calls -- is near to what could possibly occur if the Indian and Pakistani leaders let themselves and their people respond out of emotions, not rational considerations. Just as in the other incidents I cite above which DID involve U.S. hotheadedness and impulsiveness. If you'd like more examples of American duplicity, hotheadedness, and impulsiveness, see: The Untold History of the United States Gallery Books a division of Simon & Schuster, Simon & Schuster, New York, 2014 by Oliver Stone and Peter Kuznick https://annas-archive.org/search?index=&page=1&q=the+untold+history+of+the+united+states+oliver+stone&display=&sort= So feel free to post about any current developing situations involving the risk of nuclear war and the destruction of life as we know it on Earth, from actions taken by hotheaded and impulsive American leaders. Just as I have done in my post about Indian and Pakistani leaders. M. |
