"I have learned that if even one nuke is used in this conflict, all the babies around the world will die. Therefore it doesn't matter what we do if they set off a nuke. We will all eventually die, and since all the babies will die, it will be the end of the world for everyone."
What are you talking about?

I believe he is refering with sarcasm to the propaganda that was put out by the peace movement. In order to advance their political agenda they promoted despair and a false sense of helplessness ('In case of attack, we're all gonna die! Give up, give up now!'). Their goal was to terrify people into supporting them.
