Abstract
Though the COVID-19 pandemic presently comes to mind as the most serious global disease, the onset of a nuclear war could sometime prove to be the most terminal “pathology” of all. This article by Professor Louis René Beres systematically examines pertinent nuances of such prospective war-pathology in the Middle East, with special reference to Israel’s nuclear strategy, US foreign policy, expanding international law controls and a still-aspirational human “oneness.”
