That bomb assured destruction of our enemies and thus made world wide conflict less likely. When Russia had said same it increased the risk. However, both of us then had the ability to destroy all. We were both rational and thus the chance of confrontation became less. Without nuclear weapons there would have been a war in Europe between Russia and NATO.

I believe I predicted this just a couple of days ago. The left doesn’t realize we know them better then they know themselves. They have no clue who we are.
