Clinton's damage wont be fully appreciated until China launches a few Clinton Campaign Nukes.
I was always convinced that the reason that Clinton let the Lewinsky affair hubbub go on for so long was to distract us from the nuclear secrets sales to China. IIRC, just before Lewinsky hit the news, there was a pretty significant transfer of nuclear technology to China. Had Clinton spoken up immediately--Yeah, I had an affair with her, what's the big deal?--chances are, that story would have gone nowhere. But then we'd have been paying more attention to what was going on with China.
We gave the Chinese the W-88. Our crown jewel thermonuclear warhead of our arsenal. It was the last one we designed over 20 years ago, and ending production over a decade ago. We are not designing or producing any new warheads. That is not the case with Russia, China, Iran, and probably many more.
There has been a major change in US nuclear policy in the last 20 years. Why is weakness acceptable? Why is weakness admirable? Why is weakness some sort of moral high ground? Overkill IS a GOOD thing because it leaves no question in your potential enemies mind where they don’t want to go.
