We only need 30 nukes. After that, it only gets ridiculous. During the cold war, we wanted all our nukes as a deterrent from the 'evil' empire of the soviets taking over if they completely obliterated us. Therefore the mutually assured destruction MAD pact. This to me, is quite ******* crazy.
Russia almost nuked USA in 1995 by ACCIDENT:

But I think that our policy should be quite different because (1). Russia is not an evil empire, and even if you thought it was before, its not now, its capitalist now.
So if we were to 'think' we were getting nuked by Russia...what purpose would be of nuking them? destroy 100'ds of millions of human beings?
I think the policy should be MUTUALLY unassured destruction (MUD), by which each country says it won't nuke the other if its nuked....because its going to get ****** anyway either way (the same exact way)....and revenge is futile since both Russia and USA have same ideology.
revenge?
