Are you saying the US is a hypocrite for monitoring other combative countries, enemies, and super powers for their nuclear arsenals, especially as they near world ending numbers?

Should we not be paying attention to that?

Do you propose the whole world just take each others word on whether or not we still have nukes and just agree to turn them in? Pinky promise?

Do you think everyone would honestly do that?

How many people do you think would die from a move like that.

Please tell me what your solution is to the problem of nuclear weapons having been discovered 80 somethin years ago (close to a century now).

You think nukes are scary? Try on biological warfare + AI gene editing for size. If you and people like you are serious about nukes and why they’re bad then you need to pony up and start making some actual points instead of throwing childish insults and quips. Times running out
