Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Nuclear Weapons (HBO)

Published on Jul 27, 2014

America has over 4,800 nuclear weapons, and we don’t take terrific care of them.

It’s terrifying, basically.

John Oliver on Nuclear Weapons
Posted on July 28, 2014 by Nuclear Risk

As the movie Dr. Strangelove shows, comedy may be the best way to break through society’s reluctance to face the risks posed by nuclear weapons. In that tradition, I highly recommend John Oliver’s recent comedy routine about nuclear weapons (15 minute video). Well done, John!! Please share this with friends. If enough of us do that, who knows what could happen? Maybe we’d even come to our senses?

John Oliver should have Martin Hellman on as a guest.

4. Let's not let America's last words be "Oh shit!"

Oliver is a great political comedian.

After watching this, I absolutely must watch Dr. Strangelove: Or How I learned to stop worrying and live the bomb", one of the greatest films of all times. Certainly the greatest satires.
