Only world power ever to use nuclear weapons on population centers "not altogether too fucking sure what these things are for".

Nuclear weapons are a crutch we have leaned on to avoid thinking about the true needs and costs of defense.

The fact that the human race can glass its one and only habitable planet hundreds of times over means the US needs to spend more on aircraft carriers, actually.

Remember, it is absolutely illegal to consider a world without constant, all-consuming conflict and the ever-present specter of nuclear holocaust.

There is absolutely nothing the Unites States, the only power to use nuclear weapons on population centers in the history of the universe, can do to change this. What if the bad guys got a nuke and tried to use it on a population center?
