Well, I guess we ought to be first then.

Oops. I guess we already have.

Hear that world?

We are the only nuclear power in the world that has used nukes, and refuses to rule out "first use" in the future.

Come and get 'em.

In 1946,in a closed congressional hearing, J. Robert Oppenheimer was asked “whether three or four men couldn’t smuggle units of an atomic bomb into a city and blow up the entire city.” The father of the atomic bomb said “Of course it could be done.” When a nervous senator then asked how such a weapon smuggled in a crate or in a suitcase could be detected, Oppenheimer said “With a screwdriver.”

We are the only nuclear power in the world that... refuses to [openly] rule out "first use" in the future.
