Nina Tannenwald

The president saw what came after.

The historian Nina Tannenwald calls this the nuclear taboo.

It isn't a law.

Nothing stops a president from using one.

I think we are very far from there.

I think a much more proximate threat is an isolated use of nuclear weapons that would then lower the you know the psychological barrier to using nuclear weapons so um you know i i don't want to be all doom and gloomy because i do think that there's things that we can do as individuals to help the situation and there's a very important concept that was coined by um an american called nina tannenwald which is the the concept of the nuclear taboo

yes

it's this idea of that since 1945 there's been this taboo about using and testing nuclear weapons and what we need to do is ensure that that taboo remains strong and one way of doing that is to be very very quick at calling out condemning people who play openly with the idea of using nuclear weapons of using oh just a tactical nuclear weapon what is a tactical nuclear weapon it's still a nuclear weapon.
