“If called upon, they would directly facilitate the end of the world. But the fact that they are so capable of suddenly carrying out that mission ensures that they won’t ever actually have to.”
Why the HELL is it so hard to get anyone in the media to understand the above? I had it figured out in high school, and I suspect the same for most people here. We went through a lot of debate during the Cold War about whether to have nukes or whether to freeze their levels, or whatever. The ONLY question we should have discussed was how many MORE we needed, so as to assure that the Soviets understood that a nuclear war would not end well for them.
Thank goodness for leaders like Hussein Obama who understood that reducing the number of OUR nuclear weapons would lead to the rest of the world reducing their nuclear weapon stockpiles. Then we could spend more for reducing the devastating effects of global warming which will end the world just like nuclear weapons will, only more slowly /sarc
Strength through weakness is the Democrat Party way!
