As a practitioner of nuclear warfare, I am confident there will not be an exchange in our lifetime.
I am, however, confident that there will be a civil clash, possibly by race and most likely by political affiliation, in our lifetime.
I prepare for the civil clash and not the long term nuclear warfare.
What?! You are a practioner of nuclear warfare?
Don't you perhaps mean "proponent of nuclear deterrence," or "advocate of strong nuclear defence?"
