1/ If the current situation in Ukraine shows anything, it’s the complete bankruptcy of our nuclear arms strategy. We’re now scheduled to spend $634B nuclear bombs over the next 10 years, and we already have approximately 7000 nuclear warheads already.

2/ We’ve been told for years that the legitimacy of the arms race lies in the principle of Mutually Assured Destruction, the idea that no one would drop a nuke if they were aware that someone else could do it too.

3/ How is our having so many nuclear warheads helping us now? Dropping 50, max, would be enough to pretty much destroy the world. The trillions of $ we have already spent on nuclear bombs has almost nothing to do with our security. When this Ukrainian horror is over, #BanTheBomb.

There is an argument that if Ukraine had not given up their nuclear weapons for assurances, they would never have been invaded. What good counter argument is there now?

I am wondering if we will ever have a leader brave enough to advocate world peace. The MI Complex might suffer a bit but just imagine the explosion of economic activity if countries' defense budgets are applied to building Schools, Hospitals, Roads, for the poor of the world.

It's comedic 😂😂😂. The trickle down is analogous to people with closets full of unworn shoes who just enjoy inviting friends over, wining/dining and showing off their possessions only to cry themselves to sleep

Gennadiy Druzenko, head of Ukrainian military medical service, boasts on Ukraine 24 channel that he "gave strict orders to castrate all the wounded" Russians "because they are cockroaches, not humans." Not all fascists wear Swastikas or Wolfsangels.

Imagine what we could be spending our money on instead
