The Slippery Slope: Rolling Downward, No Brakes, Nuclear WarPollack, Norman http://www.counterpunch.org/2016/10/10/the-slippery-slope-rolling-downward-no-brakes-nuclear-war/Publisher: CounterPunch Date Written: 10/10/2016 Year Published: 2016 Resource Type: Article Cx Number: CX19945 Policy is not a discrete entity; indeed, instead, it is a cumulative force, broadening in scope and direction, as it -- in this case -- plunges toward self- and global-annihilation. Destruction is in the very air we breathe, as though Thanatos looming overhead, because exceptionalism is reaching a point of satiety and feelings of emptiness and alienation make other than war and dominance meaningless.
