queermunist, 6 days ago to worldnews in U.S. Considers Expanded Nuclear Arsenal, a Reversal of Decades of Cuts

As a fellow trans person, I don’t think Biden can guarantee my safety because I’m in a red state. He seems to be allowing red state anti-trans legislation without much pushback. At best he might not make the problem even worse, but he won’t protect us.

Again, that’s more about delivery systems than just having more nukes. The capacity to intercept comes down to how fast and stealthy the missiles are.

I’m pretty sure that numbers are how you present a credible MAD threat.

5000 nukes will annihilate everyone. Earth wouldn’t recover for centuries.

Now, yes, delivery systems determine if the nukes can actually be used, but having more than 5000 nukes is just a hat on a hat. As long as they’re 5000 functional nukes there’s just no reason to have more.

5000 nukes is already enough to end civilization, what the fuck would having even more be worth?
