Letters to the Editor: Hypocrisy of West on nuclear threats

Russian President Vladimir Putin has threatened to use nuclear weapons.

George W Bush threatened Iran with a nuclear strike when he said “all options are on the table”.

Truman threatened Korea with nuclear weapons when he said “we will take whatever steps are necessary to meet the military situation, just as we always have”, referring possibly to five years previously when the US had nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
