Jüngst freigegebene Dokumente belegen laut New York Times, dass die USA während des Vietnam Krieges 1968 einen Atomwaffeneinsatz ernsthaft erwogen haben sollen: „In one of the darkest moments of the Vietnam War, the top American military commander in Saigon activated a plan in 1968 to move nuclear weapons to South Vietnam until he was overruled by President Lyndon B. Johnson, according to recently declassified documents cited in a new history of wartime presidential decisions.” (jw)
