This is the Friends of History Debating Society. I'm John Bachelor welcoming Professor

H.J. Mackinder, International Relations, Six Capital, Six Points of View, Two Wars,

A Third War threatened, and we begin in Moscow with the significant decision by the

Kremlin to walk away from the test ban treaty of many years saying that the US has never ratified it so why should we obey it

this means that we can expect depending upon the news environment a re-emergence of underground nuclear weapons testing, though I'm told

by weapons designers that perhaps you can do everything in the computer that you could do underground.

Weapons testing was never just about building a better bomb.

It was also about expressing hostility.

Professor, a very good evening to you. expressing hostility.

Professor, a very good evening to you.

The comprehensive test ban treaty is now abrogated in the two nuclear powers that abated once upon a time. We never ratified it, but we abated.

I'm told, in fact, by John Bolton writing for the Wall Street Journal and Ice, we spoke afterwards.

He published his piece that in reorganizing the nuclear weapons arsenal of the U.S.

testing will be necessary. The rule of nuclear weapons is always never. They

must always work when you want them to and they must never work when you don't want them to and

testing is one way to validate that there will be other adjustments really

expensive ahead of us I mentioned nuclear weapons because it seems to be a consistent theme of

the Kremlin to express its authority with nuclear weapons. So their point of view. Good

evening to you, Professor.
