<p>Faulty logic. It takes 250 nukes to mutually assure destruction. Actually it takes like 20 but the other country will intercept some. </p>
<p>By that logic weapons development would stop because no country in their right mind would attack a nuclear power. But that’s not what happens. My point? All nuclear powers kill each other at the same rate and America does not “kill faster” than say Britain or China</p>
<p>^We do. Because to really be dominant, you have to have enough firepower to nuke every major enemy city AND every enemy nuke. But since they’re doing the same thing, we have endless escalation.</p>

<p>On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime
Humphrey Bogart + Peter Lorre = Awesome movie</p>
<p>To clarify–I don’t really count weed. It’s a drug, yes but not nearly as dangerous as meth, cocaine, etc. I don’t smoke weed myself.</p>
<p>@romani, I understand that it’s an escape but isn’t the high from weed an escape as well? What’s the need of going to something more dangerous just to get high?</p>
<p>^Because you can get high-er?? Idk…</p>
<p>The US has a nuclear arsenal because it can never know for certain that no other country in the world has nukes, which would be the only sane (militarily) situation <em>not</em> to have them. Same for every single other country that has one. Why they keep expanding I don’t know.</p>
<p>^They keep expanding because to have dominance you must be able to nuke every enemy nuke, and still have nukes left over to hit their cities. Since this is also true for the other nations, there’s a never-ending race to the top.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It depends. Sometimes it’s an escape, sometimes it’s a way to relax. People use meth and coke to get f***ed up. Many people just use weed to relax, the same as a glass of wine or a cigarette. There’s a huge difference IMO.</p>
<p>^I’ll agree with you there.</p>
<p>Lol we have nukes to flex our “muscles.” I.e. check out how powerfull we are. Don’t mess with us.</p>
