I dream of a world where America has destroyed its evil ICBMs and North Korea and Iran has perfected theirs

“I say we eliminate the experts. Just sayin’.”

Just sayin’.

Those darned ICBMs are always self igniting and attempting to sneak out of their silos and wander around the neighborhood un-escorted.

“Arms-control specialists say”

Yes, eliminate the experts and/or eliminate some of the other dangerous elements in the military, such as snowflake types and transgenders, etc.

Yeah right. Let’s just hasten the suicide. About 50% of our nuclear arsenal is carried by submarines.

Oh, right! How stupid do they think we ARE? SURE! Let’s disarm ourselves! I’m sure our adversaries, current and potential, would NEVER take advantage of our weakened state. Oh....wait...
