Obama May Ditch Most US Nukes

Why not. If we just nuke the entire mountains and stuff in Afghanistan we're bound to kill a few.

Terrorists can live anywhere. Not just the Middle East. What if your neighbor was a terrorist?

And destroying a country because of the actions ofa few is bad.

I have the suspicion that you weren't serious anyway...

Cool, so the rest of the world can begin drafting Invasion plans?

Wasdie

Nobody will be invading for many reasons.

Number 1: We have 2 massive oceans surrounding us and no other nation has the force projection they would need to land an invasion force.

Number 2: We have the largest navy in the world. You can combine the next 5 navies together and they still aren't nearly the size of ours.

Number 3: There is absolutly no economic gain in invading a country and taking it's resources today

Number 4: There is no military in the world that could handle an occupation of a nation of this size.

There are many more reasons. We don't need thousands of nukes. We just need a strong military like we have now. Nukes are a product of the cold war, and expensive one at that.

Dang, sarcasm. Didn't mean it.

You did forget one thing however. Canada can open the back door to the U.S for the Russians if we felt like it ;)

I'm dead serious.

Crunchy_Nuts

No, you're not.

If he's your neighbour then just use a grenade instead of a nuke.

Crunchy_Nuts

First, we were talking about the application of nukes. Second, that's illegal in many cases.

uh......yeah? This is nothing new. Part of his campaign promises was to vastly reduce the world's (aka not just the US) supply of nuclear warheads. In fact he has been working on this since his first year in office.

[QUOTE="THE_DRUGGIE"]

Well when I said "disposal" I meant breaking down the nukes with care.

Also, please stop quoting Wasdie, it kind of depreciates the fact that I'm adblocking him.

tenaka2

Aww. It's like he's a little 5 year old with his fingers in his ears going "LALALALALALALA CAN'T HEAR YOU LALALALAALAL"

Wasn't me.

lol, I can hear him now.

Is this to save money? Also I could see getting rid of or replacing old nukes. However I don't think we should unilaterally drawdown our nukes, we should enter into agreements with other countries where all sides would decrease their nukes.

Russia and USA are neck in nck with the amount of nukes. Russia will have the upper hand, and Obama knows it.

If Wikipedia is to be trusted, Russia already has more active nukes and total warheads than us already. Not that is matters. Ooh, America only has 8,500 while Russia has 11,000. :roll: I'm pretty sure you'd run out of targets before you could use up that stockpile.

If you had bothered to read the article you would have saw where it stated that nothing was likely to happen before new negotiations with Russia.

[QUOTE="Serraph105"][QUOTE="ristactionjakso"]So, if anything, we should be making more.

the cold war era military industrial complex is/was a huge industry. not surprising some politicians would freak out over bits of it being reduced...comp_atkins

I don't understand this. Having nuclear weapons is a good thing in case terrorists attack.Crunchy_Nuts

a crappy computer figures it out in 1982 and we're still going in circles... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHWjlCaIrQo

You could still wipe out every major city on the planet with 400 nukes, so I don't see why this is much of an issue.

Worst thing that's came out of Obama's mouth... and that's saying something.codymcclain14

Last I checked there were only 19,000 in the entire world.

I think people are confusing the number of warheads built over the decades to the number stockpiled and actively deployed.

Ether you simply don't understand humor or you're painfully trying to cover a stupid comment. Ether way you're an idiot (as evidenced by your Facebook/mom thread. And yeah, I do have to be a dick about it.

And your opinion holds more water than that of the Pentagon how?

You would think a loving Christian who follows Jesus' teachings would rather there be less weapons of mass destruction on the Earth...

[QUOTE="codymcclain14"] Or you're just to much of a dumbass to get it? ... besides, only perverts would get that joke probably.

The benefit to nukes is determent. We don't need to have a lot of nukes, we just need to stop others from getting one.

I do understand humor. Lol. It's very funny that someone on OT tells me I have no humor. If OT would grow a sense of humor, you'd understand. F*cker. And no you don't have to be a dick. Everyone is stating a opinion, weither it's a opinion, or a joke. doesn't mean you have to argue against it.

And your opinion is like a a$$hole everyones got one. So I dont give a f*ck.
