Forums - Politics Discussion - Trump: Let it be a arms race

Are we going to get news articles and hysteria when Trump postures and tries to be alpha dog? This is going to be a nauseating 4 years of news coverage.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Didn't President Obama announce a $1T expansion of our nuclear arsenal not that long ago?



Am I the only person who thinks (and knows) that Donald Trump is simply a vapid little rich kid who take a big game but is really a little b**ch who puts on heirs and pretends to be tough? This guy is so full of s***t, believe me!



PC GAMING: BEST GAMES. WORST CONTROLS

A mouse & keyboard are made for sending email and typing internet badassery. Not for playing video games!!!

What is the point?
We have enough already to destroy the entire surface of the world like 12-15 times over already.

More? less? it doesnt matter, everyone dies if it comes down to a war like that.

1. Wishful thinking. Every country's nuclear production capabilities are limited, this is simply impossible for USA to produce almost 10k nuclear warheads in lets say 4 years term.

2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_on_the_Non-Proliferation_of_Nuclear_Weapons

As u can see, 2 states ( USA and Russia ) have like 95% of all nukes and they agree on not use them.

Yet its odd that both start talking about upgrading their nuclear arsenal at the same time.

Good, we can go more in debt to feed our industrial military complex.  Fuck affordable healthcare or college.  I need my weapons.

It's talking only.

"I will build more nukes to show other countries that building nukes is not ok from them and that they are out of their senses!"

Yes, the world will feel so much safer if you can destroy it 1000x and not only 100x wohoo!

And the Mexicans will pay for that, too. ;)

WASHINGTON, Dec 23 (Reuters) - U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, asked to clarify his comments about expanding U.S. nuclear weapons capability, said, "Let it be an arms race," and that the United States would win it, MSNBC reported on Friday.

Trump had alarmed non-proliferation experts on Thursday with a Twitter post that said the United States "must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes."

MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski spoke with Trump on the phone and asked him to expand on his tweet. She said he responded: "Let it be an arms race. We will outmatch them at every pass and outlast them all."

Shares of uranium producers and a nuclear fuel technology company have jumped on Trump's comments with Uranium Resources Inc, Uranium Energy Corp, Cameco Corp and Lightbridge Corp all trading higher on Friday.

It was not clear what prompted Thursday's tweet by Trump, a Republican who takes office on Jan. 20, but it came the same day Russian President Vladimir Putin said his country needed to boost its nuclear forces.

In his year-end news conference in Moscow on Friday, Putin said Trump's comment on Wednesday was not out of line and that he did not consider the United States to be a potential aggressor.

Trump spokesman Sean Spicer said in several television interviews on Friday that there would not be an arms race because the president-elect would ensure that other countries trying to step up their nuclear capabilities, such as Russia and China, would decide not to do so.

"He's going to ensure that other countries get the message that he's not going to sit back and allow that," Spicer, who was named this week as White House spokesman for the president-elect, told NBC. "And what's going to happen is they will come to their senses, and we will all be just fine."

well there it is. We won't have to worry about global warming because we'll have nuclear winter.

When I vote for a President it's always fistly:

Who will be best at International affairs.

Were F'd as a nation, expect more terrorist attacks / US in chapter 11 / all taking place during a possible nuclear winter.

My favorite part is where the spokesman's reasoning is because he will ensure that they get the message.

Like this is going to do anything.
