Peace through strength, after all. Btw, this upgrade would have had to start eight to ten years ago so, no, Trump didn't jump right into upping the ante. https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/us-nukes-just-got-lot-212818509.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let that sink in for a moment . . . And then ask yourself . . . why? I understand the concept of defensive nuclear weapons. And in the aforementioned cold-war, the much maligned MAD (mutually assured destruction) actually worked - i.e. there was NO nuclear war between the US and USSR (though we came close a couple of times). But we supposedly won the cold-war, did we not? And now our 'enemies' are radical islamists and terrorist organizations like ISIS - not other 'superpowers'. The kinds of enemies that will be defeated - if they are to be - by infiltration and the work of small military special forces. I see no scenario where nukes would be used against ISIS. To me, this is a waste. Blessings, -Ed Edited March 11, 2017 by SavedByGrace1981 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, maybe that explains the nuclear upgrade, then. So when do you think we'll start nuclear bombing Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia . . .

Most normal humans, the Soviets included, didn't really want to die - that's one reason the Mutual Assured Destruction during the Cold War worked so well. That and God's restraining grace that kept us from nuking ourselves to extinction. You're right about Iran, too. It's run by a death cult . . . and they want nukes. This is a really bad idea. The Fukashima nuclear accident really should have reminded the world that using one or more nuclear warheads is a bad idea since we all share the same atmosphere. Everybody will get to share in the fallout from that, if it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
