Yes. The only weird thing about the thread would be any consideration of the topic without seeing that the dominant issue (to which all others are subordinated) is the possession of nuclear weapons by the only state ever to use them, and the state which, on the grounds of both capacity and willingness is the most serious threat to world peace and safety at the present time.
An abstract discussion of the elimination of nuclear weapons would be rather more than weird -- it would exist in never-never land.
