Having thousands of nuclear missiles seems like overkill. Is it just some way to waste money on grifting? I understand maintaining enough for "mutually assured destruction", but after that it is pointless. Not blowing money for no reason is an easy win.

It's not just the amount of missiles, it is also your delivery systems. It's the reason we have our nuclear armed sub fleet, that the Russians have Perimeter, so that even the most thought out decapitation strike can't account for a bunch of roving subs around the world each with the power to annihilate a continent.

Nuclear weapons have a built in shelf life. They are only reliable for so long.
journalists are retarded and don't account for this, so every nuclear weapon ever is kept in the count.

I know I shouldn't be but I am surprised that a civilian cargo ship was not only able to just wander right into a US Nuke boat but also ram it.

Really...the Navy needs to be cleaned out, this bulk carrier ship is like 800m long and like 80,000 tonnes. That's not small, that's not even close to small. Was no one on look out? Was the radar operator asleep? For fucks sake the bulk carrier moves at like 6 knots that's a very large amount of time to move out of the way or tell it to stop.

Forget Mudslime drones and Chink hypersonic missiles. Just send in some random Pajeet (and trust me it will be found to be a Pajeet boat) to slam into your target since the US Navy can't even manage to see a 80,000 tonne almost kilometre long ship coming at them at slow speed.

Left and Right wing populist who interests align way more than the establishment factions of either party would like us to believe.


RFK JR's confirmation is the average people of this great nation coming together to take back the country for themselves. Crazy how Trump is a great unifier!! Transparency and healing the divide the country is coming together and it's going to be unbelievable!!

The biggest W will come when Trump's 4 years are up and the country turns back around and people feel like they can financially breathe again like in mid 2018 through early 2020.

My biggest hope with Trump having a diverse cabinet and a wide range of support is that the people who are still "on the fence" about Trump, or just slightly dislike him because they still believe he's some bumbling fool yet still haven't gone full TDS can get some of the MSM programming out of their brain. It seems like a lot of this has already happened considering he won the popular vote and MSM has the lowest ratings ever.

The biggest thing is that the full leftists/commies with extremely terminal TDS need to be in such a minority that no matter how hard they screech, no matter how many articles they write, and how many times they protest they just get ignored and left behind. Let them cry while the rest of the country and by extension, the world keeps running.

Cant get cocky yet though. Kinda crazy to think its not even been a full month since inauguration yet.

Well, during the Cold War, one of the general expectation for both sides was a massive first strike, which could wipe out the enemy. The solution the military came up with was to have as many weapons as possible so even if you lose 90% of your force in a hypothetical attack, you still have enough nukes left over to make the other guy truly regret his actions.
Thats why concepts such as second strike capability and SLBMs exist

So... I give the odds of the Federal Reserve being destroyed somewhere between "They're turning the fricking frogs gay" and "Walmart FEMA camps".
