More vile, communist crap spewed from none other than actual members of the United States government, who're thoroughly sold out to radically extreme leftist views that run wholly counter to everything for which America stands.

You must not understand the idea of a preventative military force. Do you think nations around the world that are our enemies, don't attack us in places around the world and at home because they just don't want too? No, they fear the military reprisal that the US military could bring upon them. The preventative is the scale of our power. If we reduce our presence around the globe you will see more actions like we are seeing in Ukraine. Why do you think Nancy Pelosi lives in a gated and guarded community?

We do not.

Just another case of some on the left not knowing the facts. Russia possesses the most nukes.

Nonetheless a few hundred between Russia and the USA is irresponsible on both governments ....in fact a
the few thousands both of them own is enough to make the world puke.

Talk about over kill. Supposedly it would take only 100 nukes to destroy all life on earth. Reminds me of a great movie about the end, On the Beach.

So it's our role to keep forces around the world to protect nations who aren't even part of NATO?
Yet Trump wanted to bail on NATO, and the group of countries we did agree to help protect, because he thought we were paying more than our fair share. And Trumpers cheered his approach.
So which is it going to be: America first or not?

Loved the movie. And the end was very poignant, but kinda' depressing.
Which of course was the point of the movie: let's not go down this road.

Nonsense. 100 nukes in a short period of time would probably doom advanced civilization, that's nowhere near enough to do the species in.

"How many nukes would it take to destroy the world? 100 nuclear weapons could destroy life According to a new scientific study, a nuclear attack of 100 bombs could harm the entire planet including the aggressor nation."

What we need is global agreement to eliminate nuclear weapons, not unilateral disarmament.

Actually I believe that Russia has more than anyone, is what I've read. I'm not saying there isnt a chance that could be wrong.

Oddly enough, neither link actually sources their answer.
