Sorry to double post, but I think Kos has the best rejoinder to the “unserious” charge.

While getting rid of nuclear weapons would certainly be difficult (i.e. 5% chance of happening) I think the U.S. seriously pursuing that goal would change the entire dynamic on the issue.

If you could get the 5 major powers to agree to give up their nuclear weapons, you could supercede the NPT and create a much larger, more indepth nonproliferation regime with all nuclear materials controlled by a UN agency. All nuclear development outside the UN could be a cause for military action. With the major powers having already given up their nuclear weapons, they would not take the side of a third rate power to block military action, which has been the largest impediment to the original vision of the UN as a international security enforcement agency.

It strikes me as a sign of his naivety and evidence that he is not politically experienced enough for the office.

I like some of what he has had to say, but he also often seems to make these types of statements that seem way off base for how the international system really works.

You are so right. The nuclear bomb is now in more countries and more that would never give them up.
