More tales from the 'DEMS REALLY GET IT' : Biden wants to do away with US nukes

The Obama administration will move ahead with Senate ratification of a treaty banning nuclear tests that was voted down by Republicans more than a decade ago, Vice President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. said Thursday.

In a speech setting out the administration's arms-control agenda, Mr. Biden also said the United States will continue to pursue President Obama's call for the elimination of all U.S. nuclear arms, but defended spending $7 billion in the coming year to repair an aging arsenal.

The administration is close to reaching a new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) with Russia, and is nearing completion of a review of U.S. nuclear weapons forces, Mr. Biden said at the National Defense University.

"Our agenda is based on a clear-eyed assessment of our national interest," Mr. Biden said. "We have long relied on nuclear weapons to deter potential adversaries. Now, as our technology improves, we are developing non-nuclear ways to accomplish that same objective."

Yep the Russkies and Chines are so afraid of our 21 B-2's, 12 Tomahawks a month (900 lb warhead), 183 F-22's, and those (what would be) hundreds or thousands of 300 lb warheads on our $12 billion silent missile subs.Especially since after one across the board salvo we are almost EMPTY.

Nuclear weapons prevented cataclysmic wars which have plagued humanity ALL OUR EXISTENCE.

They still do.

There is an irreducible minimum number of warheads beneath which no deterrence exists.

THE END.

Thee has never been a better time - from a financial perspective to get rid of nukes. America is as close to broke as it can get, Saudi Arabia is awash in oil money which it is certainly willing to spend to ensure the success of the jihad it has been financing for the last 30 years. Those nukes would fit right in there.

ciccio NUKES COST A PITTANCE compared to never ending use of conventional weapons, which never stops and deter no one.

Nukes are built, maintained and replaced about ONCE a generation.

You are factually in error in your basic assumption
