The Communists have created the illusion in free men’s minds that “the way to peace is through disarmament.” We must not forget that this originated as a Communist slogan. Now free men have adopted it as their own and are even setting up special commissions to explore ways and means to carry it out. In this action, we are deliberately closing our eyes to everything we promised ourselves at the close of World War II and again at the end of the Korean War. Experts tell us that to disarm in the face of an obvious and present danger is an immoral act. It is an act of self-destruction. …
What are his political leanings?
Wonder how he feels about his party’s hacks gifting Putin with a large pile of weapons grade plutonium....
Michael Douglas, rocket scientist/nuclear scientist
I did not know he had a doctorate in physics... Who’da thunk...
Hollywood actors’ brain power is astonishing.

Wow.... and I thought all of this time the nukes we make today are inferior to the old ones.... who knew?
What a moronic Meat Puppet.
The yields on nukes are a fraction of the multi megaton weapons of the 1960’s.
Well he is exactly wrong
As accuracy improves, yield (power) needed to get the job done is lowered. Back in the day yield was typically in the 5-20 megatons range (city busters) today most nukes are in the kilotons (5-400) range.
Two words for you Michael, you ignorant fool: Tsar Bomba.
Michael Douglas famous for his Physics theories and Thermonuclear research.
Well, he should know … he’s an actor.
o.O
Hey Mike!
Get the FACTS before you open your mouth!!!
The BIG nukes have all been retired (on our side).
Our focus has been on accuracy and reliability for a long time.
Our enemies continue to cheat on weapon reductions.
And while it may be true ... why are we listening to an actor weigh in?
The old ones would make you just as dead, Michael.
Our nukes are archaic and desperately need upgrading. The Peacemaker missiles were retired (for reasons I don’t understand) and we rely on Minuteman missiles last built when Nixon was president.
Meanwhile Russia keeps upgrading their missiles.
1) Fewer? Certainly many fewer in the US arsenal. Disarmament is treason.
2) More sophisticated? Generally, yes. That's a good thing. It makes them smaller, more efficient, cleaner, and more accurate.
3) More powerful? ABSOLUTELY FALSE. The man knows nothing. ALL of the big, multimegaton weapons have been retired. They're no longer needed. See #2.
The only difference is that they are NOW in the hands of mental ‘teenagers’ across the globe...
