Nuclear Free World History & Civil Business Politics

I really don't have any issue with cutting down our nuclear stockpile. Being able to blow up the world dozens of times over probably is a bit excessive. However, to tell the world that we are going to turn the other cheek if you pretend to be our buddy and only send us bio or chemical weapons is insane. You never limit your response to an attack in war. It makes you smaller. This is particularly true with the initial act. If the opponent knows the limit of your response and can accept the consequences, you have made yourself weaker and more vulnerable. This is ridiculous and incredibly naive for a leader of ANY country.

If he did this expecting other countries to take his lead...he is a fool.

However, I would suspect that our potential foes realize that if they did drop a bio or chemical weapon on the US, the pressure on the President to get way more than even would be enough to put aside this idiodic policy.

A threat to nuclear disarmament:

A nuclear war between the you.S. And Russia may no longer be an option, but Russia says the you.S. National missile defence could become an instrument for political blackmail. As Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin put it recently, the anti-missile umbrella would make the you.S. Feel so secure that it could "act with impunity" towards Russia. Ref. Source 4
