Sent 22 members of the US Congress wrote to President Barack Obama asking him to abandon the pre-emptive nuclear strike option.

The letter, signed by 22 members of Congress: “If the United States carried out the potential use of nuclear weapons plans proactively against an enemy that has a similar nuclear arsenal, it could lead to a wide exchange of nuclear strikes, and the deaths of thousands of civilians.”

The newspaper “New York Times” has reported earlier that the White House studied the possibility of making a political statement about the lack of initiative to the use of nuclear weapons, but Obama rejected the idea in the end.

The only country except the United States, which owns the so-called “nuclear triple play”, ie nuclear weapons fired from the ground, sea and air, is Russia. / Ended 29 n / 10
