For the record, I acknowledge we'd never get rid of nukes all together, I was suggesting a reduction in stockpiles.
As for the missile defense shield, I think it's one of the worst policies the U.S. could engage in. They've spent billions on an unproven system that is already sparking a renewed arms race as nations attempt to find countermeasures. If anything it just makes the world (and the United States) a less secure place. why they wish to stir up the nuke pot alludes me. With the exception of the military industrial complex and their lobbyists, nobody benefits from this one.
@ sqrl - Russia is in the process of decommissioning nuclear arms, and the U.S. is helping provide some of the funding to do so. It's just that it's not getting nearly the funding it should, and it's mostly only older weapons, while there are still nuclear subs rusting in ports. I agree that it's Russia's responsibility, but just like with India, Pakistan, Israel, France, Great Britain, China and the U.S. all countries should be in the business of attempting to reduce stockpiles through diplomacy and co-operation.
I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.
