  • One wager without major loss risks is that, on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Cuban missile crisis that we have, someone will remember the implementation of the “red telephone” between the two major nuclear powers of the hour. Just to say that the ditxoso red phone was neither the phone nor the red.

It is not going to be a vague job, if, at least, it serves to reflect little on today's vicissitudes of egalitarianism.

At a time when the appearance of that quinca is becoming more and more evident, it must be acknowledged that almost all the differences are worse. Look, then there were two possible interlocutors: The United States and the Soviet Union; the United Kingdom already had thermonuclear weapons, but it was no longer much more than the United States supplement, and France’s “Frappe Force” was almost an aspiration. But now, in addition to a nuclear weapon, China already owns a nuclear triad (missiles, submarine ships, aircraft); and with more or less margin, India, Pakistan, Israel, North Korea go in the same line... Solasa, therefore, is becoming more and more complex as the interests mix and are more opposed. There would be a need for willingness, there would be media.

The MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction) doctrine, enshrined in the Cuban missile crisis, germinated the SALT agreements between the two big ones, but we are also seeing their end. And it seems increasingly difficult to be able to reconstruct this type of quantitative nuclear disarmament, because the head count is only one part of the problem.

What would be a certain step forward, the commitment not to be the first to use nuclear weapons, the only thing it has taken into account is China that enacted the proposal. It is easy to understand what renunciation means. The worst can happen at any time, with or without a red phone.

That's why we live in a peak, in the grip of secret messages. Last: In a recent video from the Chinese army, some cause a fairly prominent exposure of DF-26 missiles. Then, of course, most remember that the Western pseudonym of this missile is “Carrier Killer”. But someone has gone a little further, remembering that they can carry variable heads, conventional or nuclear.

And, true or false, he remembered what happened in a conversation between American and Chinese military at the expense of those missiles: “What if one of them, with a nuclear head, knocked it down in the conventional?” the Americans asked, “Test and see,” the Chinese replied.

That is how we are. And to get out of here, it takes a lot more than the phone.
