The book notes that a nuclear crises can arise from either a sudden, acute imminent threat; or the gradual deterioration of international relations over time that could lead to the same threat.  &#8220;The most effective, improvised action to be taken in anticipation of a possible thermonuclear war is evacuation of civilians to shelter in rural areas.&#8221;  Uh&#8230;  Conversely, our administration would propose an extremely proactive set of strategies to build peace worldwide through a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voteforjoe.com\/us-dept-of-peace\">U.S. Department of Peace<\/a>. <strong> Note:<\/strong>  What&#8217;s more, Mother Theresa once said, for instance, that abortion can lead to nuclear holocaust as well.  [Abortion is legal in all but six countries in the world, with America coming in at a staggering <strong>60 million abortions<\/strong> now, and counting.]  So a multi-prong approach would be to mobilize the U.S. Department of Peace strategies, in tandem with ending abortion.
