But the risk of nuclear war is something we have to be very conscious of. The world is stacked with weapons. The people with the weapons are likely to have faltering economies in the near future. They will feel a growing need to "do something".

Is there some news I haven't noticed ?
What's this about nuclear war breaking out ?

Maybe not so much a "good idea" as perhaps they thought it the only option.
Perhaps their way of life was non negotiable? ;-)
