Hunter DeRensis, National Interest: The Danger of A Nuclear Catastrophe Is Greater Than During the Cold War
Will the Democrats seriously debate "no first use" policy?
“Why should the U.S. tie its own hands with that policy?” CNN correspondent Jake Tapper asked Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).
This leading question during last week’s Democratic debate immediately opened up a longtime policy fissure over U.S. nuclear strategy.

All it will take is for some nutcase to get power over the launch capability and decide to end it all for it to become a stark reality once again. Of course a terrorist group obtaining even one nuke with the ability to deliver might bring back that realty.
I really want to appreciate Dr Ekpen of Ekpen Temple for restoring my broken relationship within 48 hours. It all started when I find out that my husband is cheating on me, when I try to confront him about it, the whole thing just got worst, because I love him so much I did not want to lose him to someone else so I went looking for solution that's how I came across Dr Ekpen who restore love back to my marriage. Contact him at (ekpentemple@gmail.com) if you are having challenges in your relationship.
Upper estimates for Chinese nuke is 1,500.
It is hard to count what is in tunnels & not silos.
