Yes it costs alot of money to maintain them , r u kidding me? Its not just cheap barb wire fences, although it is in Russia.
The more there are the greater the chance of a mistake occurring, be that through accidental firing or theft. Yea thats pretty obvious even for half of you dingbats in here.
@Real Mofo, I can't understand why your distrust of government would not lead to a distrust in their capacity to protect the US, and its allies, effectively.
Personally after studying a little about the cold war and nuclear deterence i think the use of nukes is stupid.
A theory exists that says each country (US and Russia) has the capacity to bring about total world destruction, and in fact this cancels out the very use of nukes themselves, did you ever think about that? So basically there is no point in having that many nukes, they CANNOT possibly ever be used ever. Why keep them?
Its a question of rationality i think, it is obviously irrational to have so much capacity to destroy 100 earths when this would never realistically be an option. For a sane person, and i dk whether Putin, Obama or whats his name could just flip the switch one day, the logic of this "defense" makes no sense.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
