I thought it wasn't allowed to make a thread for a single tweet.

I think it is when it's coming from the president of the US talking about expaning nukes.

I don't really AGREE with him here because I think the best way would be to lead by example but it makes sense.

Whilst I would love the world to unite and say "look, we can't use nukes anymore, it's far too destructive for the entire world." you have to have some sort of deterrent to stop you from being on the receiving end. Plus, a part of me feels like we'll never remove them completely. It's the ultimate weapon and it only takes one country to go rogue if a deal was ever made.

OMG I still can't believe this is true.

Isn't it time for him to buy his new weave?

He'll need a new one when his ass get killed by a nuke.

I think that people need to begin taking Trump seriously.  Instead of contributing to a conversation, some tend to just slander him continuously.  Mocking him won't prevent him from taking office so I think we need to just focus on what is being said here.

Like him or not he will be our president and deserves a certain level of respect.

 

edit: nukes scare me

The point about nuclear weapons is that it's impossible to prevent a nuclear attack. The entire STAR wars idea is not realistic (not the movie, for anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about http://www.coldwar.org/articles/80s/SDI-StarWars.asp). We already have nuclear weapons. We can strike any country that nukes us first with a nuke of our own. That is the deterrent.

 

Any more than that is a waste of time and money, and it looks bad globally.

I agree with you, I just think it's worth to keep having nukes around whilst others are in possession of them. The tweet is a little OTT with the "greatly strengthen" part but all in all, it's not the worst idea he's brought to the table.
