You can't be serious.

Our nuclear weapons are in place ONLY to prevent someone from using their nuclear weapons against us.

Are you really this out of touch with the reality of the last 65 years of conflicts in the world and why we maintain a nuclear arsenal?

Everyone is the world knows that we would not use our nuclear weapons in any conventional weapon conflict. We've proven that over and over again. We got our arse kicked in South Vietnam and we still refused to go nuclear. Terrorists trained in and directed from Afghanistan killed over 3,000 Americans on our soil and we didn't use nuclear weapons in Afghanistan.

I guess "everyone in the world" knows it but you.

Go back to movie tax credit threads. At least you appear to be up to date on that topic.

You ignore history you pompous idiot.

Eisenhower, Kennedy, Nixon and both Bushs used the threat of the nuclear arsenal to influence wars.

I think he is ouut of touch with alot of things especially this. It sounds to me like he is one of those isolationist that didn't learn from WWII. I do agree that we don't need to be all John McCain and attack everybody for everything though.
