President Donald Trump said Thursday that he wants to restart nuclear arms control talks with Russia and China and that eventually he hopes all three countries could agree to cut their massive defense budgets in half.

    Irrelevant. This is about multilateral nuclear arms reduction, not unilateral nuclear disarmament.

      And every step closer, is a step closer to death. Nuclear weapons are a tigers tail. When we let go, we all die.

          Japan survived two nukes and became one of the largest financial forces in the world. So how many could Russia survive? 10? 50? Maybe Putin like those odds. Maybe Iran decides it’s worth it to clear out Israel. If there’s only a few nukes involved, the crazy fucks start thinking they can win a nuclear war, or at least survive it well enough to be worth it.
