In an ideal world where violence is a thing of the past, we would not need Warheads to show our dominance towards those who would show aggression towards us.

 

But we don't live in that world do we? If anything having Warheads is completely illogical seeing they destroy the environment for EVERYONE. If you targeted someone with a Nuke it would not only destroy them, but the ecosystem around that area. Plus the radiation, and fallout will linger forever: pretty much denying anyone shall ever live there again (well not soon anyway).

 

Since I don't think anyone would risk the cost, and moral implications of launching a Nuke at someone (or the persecution by other Governments,  and the UN) it would seem strange to hold Nukes for the sole reason of showing our "might".

 

If someone did an act of Terrorism on the US, or did anything for that matter that involves heavy aggression, NO ONE would launch a Nuke at them. The ONLY reasons a Nuke would ever be launched is if rival countries hold each other at gunpoint with them, and the rising level of tension would ultimately break out in war; Someone dumb accidentally launches one, or a Nuke goes off by accident (believe me, there were PLENTY of accidents involving Nukes that could have ended extremely badly); or finally someone intentionally launches one of their own accord and/or threatens someone else with one.

 

Simply having Nukes to show our dominance over those who don't is quite stupid. But we don't want to be completely defenseless do we? What if we disarm ourselves, and someone threatens us with Nukes? What could we do? Maybe we could shoot some of the Nukes down with missile defense systems, but some of the Nukes could get through the batteries and hit us. We definitively don't want that to happen.

 

So all in all the only reason to have Nukes in the first place is because other people have them, and could use them against us if we got rid of ours. So that's a "Yes" for me. If the whole world disarmed themselves, and ALL specs regarding Nukes were destroyed, then I would vote "No".

OH NOSE there has been an accidental nuclear leak in your city

We should totally invest in weapons of mass destruction that function through the splitting of atoms to spread energy that kills a bunch of people, or irradiates them and gives them cancers, mutations, third eyes, and generally messes people up.

 

I mean, why not? All it takes is a 25 kill streak and we can wipe the floor with the human race! Who wouldn't want to die a horrible death like that?

 

Investing in the ability to kill ourselves out of stupidity is the way to go. More nukes! More stupid decisions! that is the way we shall save the planet; by blowing it up.

I may not be a corrupt Congressman like yourselves.....

 

 

But play Fallout... that is what happens when nukes get involved.

 

 

What enemies do we have anyway ?
 

We are creating weapons to stop violence.... that works, right ?
