Daniel Ellsberg: Nixon Almost Took Vietnam War Nuclear In November 1969
Revelations: the Vietnam Moratorium prevented use of nuclear weapons
~
1969 - “Nuclear targets were picked.”
Ellsberg speculated that the plans would have gone ahead in November 1969.
Instead, a huge demonstration on Oct. 15, 1969, the Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam, combined a general strike with nationwide protests and teach-ins.
About 2 million people came out to protest across the country, even “little towns that had never protested before,” Ellsberg recalled.
“Without the Moratorium, there would have been an escalation, possibly the use of nuclear weapons in November 1969.”
