Have you ever felt like escaping to your own desert island?

Jane Gaskin did exactly that, trading in the family home to begin a new life in the

tropics.

But she soon discovers that Paradise has its secrets.

I'm Alice Levine, and this is the price of Paradise,

the island dream that ends in kidnap, corruption, and murder.

Wish you were here.

Follow the price of Paradise Now, wherever you listen to podcasts.

I'm John Dabst with my colleague Henry Sikalsky of the Non-Delivation Policy Education Center.

We're fighting a nuclear war in the way that we can sustain ourselves.

We're not actually using nukes. We're using a new book by Annie

Jacobson about the end of the world. A column by George Will, a lengthy investigation of deterrence

by the Christian Science Monitor and Henry's remarks about not

just first use and counter force and strikes here and hard targets, but also about the new part for the Cold War, which makes it much

more complicated.

Low Earth orbit and higher Earth orbit and the Moon next. Henry you've written about the space card. I don't

easily integrate it because you can park as many threats as you want in

orbit and makes it very difficult to counter them if they're used.

And we're looking also at the prospect of our adversaries, reaching the moon and establishing

a moon base within the next 10 years.

Is this been taken into account by the war planners?

Yeah, I think it has.
