        Why would you want it? Nuclear weapons have been the biggest reason for the peace the world enjoyed after the second world war

        That sounds more like a sound bite or a slogan than an argument.

        Oh, you came in here for an argument? That's next door - this is being hit on the head lessons. Explain first your rationale that "..nuclear weapons are the biggest reason for the peace the world has enjoyed since WWII."

        The way to get rid of nuclear weapons is to get rid of nuclear reactors. That is not a matter of opinion.pic.twitter.com/wvRWSRExD3

        If we keep listening to the Globalist like the walrus, nuclear WW3 is inevitable. Don't doubt it!

        But appears to be back on the upswing recently, and modernization. Best way? Work hard for fair and respectful dialogue with Russia.

        You should offer powerful or current nuclear arsenal holder an ALTERNATIVE to have deterrence so that no one will invade or bully the poors. Balance prevail peace. Imbalance creates wars and anarchy. No one on this planet like to use WMD.

        Terrible idea. I trust US nuclear supremacy vs. meeting as equals with rogue countries. Surely it’s not a coincidence that world wars have stopped after the bomb was created?

        Do we want to get to zero? Could we modify existing arms for the use against comet/asteroids heading toward Earth?

        Would that necessarily be a good thing? Has the threat of mutual destruction kept us out of more additional world wars?
