Her stark, forceful words echoed like a jolt to the world’s collective conscience.

This statement was brought after Gabbard after a visit to Hiroshima – a city of Japan who was bombed atomic bombs. It is rare for an incumbent member of the US cabinet to express the horror of the nuclear war.
The US National Intelligence Director made the above statement in the video message posted on social networks on June 10. Gabbard said that she recently visited Hiroshima, and knew about the devastation in Hiroshima and Nagasaki cities caused by atomic bombs.
“It is hard to describe with what I have seen, the stories I heard, the sadness of obsession still. What experienced I will remember for life,” she said in the video.
Commenting on a number of paintings drawn by the survivors of the bombing, she said that the suffering, pain and the feeling of loss that the paintings convey “may be even stronger than the photos.”
She said the destructive power of nuclear weapons today overcame bombs thrown into Japanese cities during World War II.
“This is the reality of the threat, what we are facing now,” Gabbard warned that the world is “getting closer than ever to the brink of the nuclear destruction” and calling: “We have to give up the path to the nuclear war and towards a world where no one has to live in fear of a nuclear massacre.”
Earlier, US President Donald Trump implied that he wanted to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss the cutting of nuclear weapons.
