Democratic presidential hopeful Senator Elizabeth Warren proposed legislation Wednesday that would bar the US government from using nuclear weapons first in a conflict. Warren, together with House legislator Adam Smith, submitted the No First Use Act to codify what they said most Americans support, that the United States should never initiate a nuclear conflict. 'Our current nuclear strategy is not just outdated - it is dangerous, Warren and Smith said in a statement. 'By making clear that deterrence is the sole purpose of our arsenal, this bill would reduce the chances of a nuclear miscalculation and help us maintain our moral and diplomatic leadership in the world.'

So what would happen if some country launched a non-nuclear weapons, for example, biological, of mass destruction attack on the US?

So the Kremlin does have at least one candidate in the Presidential race ...

Would this ban forbid
Use against our own people?

... & thus muting the implied threat of consequence which constitutes deterrence.

One thing that annoys me about modern parlance is that the very useful term “Weapon of Mass Destruction” has been applied to every firecracker or grenade used in a crime.

If a rigged propane tank is a “Weapon of Mass Destruction”, what is a nuclear weapon?

If she were president during WW 2, she would have ordered the land invasion of Japan instead of dropping Little Boy and Fat Boy, ensuring another million dead US soldiers.

Either that or she would have allowed Hitler and Tojo to continue on their merry way.

Someone with the name of WARren should never be allowed to make decisions about war.

Isn’t this sedition?

She’s a bit late here - Trump was supposed to launch a first strike in 2017.

[DJ Frisat]

What a policy -- Shoot second, if you get the chance...

Idiots, not just for breakfast anymore.

Japan 1945. Truman saved hundreds of thousands of American lives {as well as countless japanese} by using the nukes on CIVILIAN CITIES.

There is no way to predict when a nuke might be the absolute best option.

I just wish all the moron democrats in the House would take all of the silly bills they're proposing - this one, all their gun bills, "social justice" bills, everything, and make a big pile with them out front - then set it on fire.

Hopefully, that's all they're worth, providing some temporary warmth to the homeless population of DC.

McConnell had better make it so!

I’m willing to bet one of the features in this bill will be to prevent the US from launching an attack on Iran if Iran strikes Israel.

Bingo!

If she were president at the time, Warren would just channel her inner Cherokee and order an arrow attack.

“Common sense nuclear weapon laws.”

If we were pushed to that level, THIS President would flip her off, even if the bill were to pass and then pass SCOTUS muster (it shouldn’t).
