    I don’t like the idea being part of a country that could kill thousands or even millions of people at once.

      Well, no, but I’d rather be in the position of the stick holder than the potential pointy end receiver.

        Nuclear war is not a stick battle, it’s a knife fight. You’ll both end up bleeding out. Best thing you can do is to not participate.

        People should watch Doctor Strangelove as a fucking case study.

          No, that’s not the case anymore. Modern anti-air missile systems can take care of nukes.

          It’s not a knife fight, it’s a “who can spend more money” fight to the death.
