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.

Human race won't make it much longer without cooperation, geopolitical competition and war first mentality doesn't have a good ending.

The only reason Russia even appears as a threat to many now is because of the weapons industry (military-industrial complex) only growing post-Cold War. A healthy society would've addressed this disease (MIC). It justifies its existence by making the world LESS safe for everyone

You do realize a large part of that is maintenance on current stocks, right? Would you rather neglect the maintenance? I'm no nuclear weapons expert here but I'd say it's probably a bad idea to neglect maintenance on WMD's.🤷‍♂️
