Reduce the number and you increase the risk someone might try something.

Maybe with India or Pakistan's arsenals, but with the Russian, Chinese and US arsenals it is a different story. A first strike would be very risky and would most likely not disarm your opponent. 3,000 weapons across the triad are hard to keep track of and even harder to kill all at once.

A more likely scenario would be attacking a limited number of military targets to get the point across or even go as far as city trading.

If Obama is true to liberal fascist form,a lot of the fissile material will end up on the black market, and a few dems in the oversight process will get tremendously rich.

You need 10,000 nukes when the enemy has hardened military infrastructure and when the enemy is multiplying and spreading with nukes all over the third world. The nuclear winter destruction of the world is a myth that Zerobamanites exploit to surrender to everything, including the drilling for oil and what not.

Treason. Naked treason.

Violating his oath of office to protect this nation, instead he’s surrendering to the Soviet Reunion and Chicoms.

A patriot might argue that cutting 40% of the museum pieces could be a rational course of action. But this administration will more likely cut the 40% from our front line weapons, and leave the museum pieces in place.

Cutting any weapons is dangerous at this point, because the brain trust who knew how to make them is deceased.

They are causing no harm.

The money he has given to ACORN could easily pay for the maintenance of these weapons.

At what point does this bastard get tried for treason?

As part of his devotion to US political traditions and separation of powers, he’s going to present them to the 57 states. Thanks george76.

We need to have multilayered nuclear arsenal. If we are going to cut nukes the safest sollution would be ones dropped from the air, but knowing Obama he will cut our submarine arsenal.

If he were set on suicide I would loan him ht gun, knife, rope, or drive him to a tall building. But he is set on murdering the United States and enslaving all the people to the government.

But all nuclear weapons are created equal. We have hundreds of tactical nukes with a yield of only a few dozen kilotons suitable for use on the battlefield to nukes in the megaton range for taking out submarines, hardened missile silos or command centers or entire cities.
