Bracken says there is no threat of a nuclear war between Russia and the U.S., which is exactly why I think it is
pertinent for the media to highlight the threats that do exist while they are in the forefront of current affairs. Without the
threat of nuclear war there is less of an incentive for the nuclear opposition to speak out and influence policy, but if the
media highlights the other nuclear threats that do exist than more people should come forward to confront the
problems associated with these threats, without having to deal with the emotional anxieties attached to nuclear war,
which is a good thing. Bracken breathes hope into an otherwise dismal and dark subject, although he is perhaps a bit
too nonchalant on the subject for me. In my opinion some urgency should be noted before another Fukushima,
Chernobyl, or Hiroshima-size disaster occurs.
