The USA are the good guys so I'm happy they have their defensive nukes all around the world.
Also, the one time when they used their nukes offensively that was actually to save lives.
- endisneigh 5y agoI appreciate your honesty. That being said I stand by my position. It’s better if no one supports anyone who uses, threatens to use, develop or has used nukes. Needless to say only a small number of countries fit that criteria. United States will not be a “good guy” forever.

- everfree 5y ago> The USA are the good guys That kind of reductionism doesn't really forward the discussion. The USA is a complex system of interconnected organizations run by constantly churning groups of people. It's a topic that needs to be approached with some level of nuance.
