The Obama administration are considering reducing the amount of deployed nuclear weapons by eighty percent in a proposal to cut military costs.
To do so would see the number of deployed weapons back at 1950s levels.
Whilst such a reduction would send out a peaceful message to the rest of the world, it suggests confidently that there isn't a requirement for them...How so?
Is world peace just round the corner or do they have something better than nukes?

Whilst the arms trade is one of the biggest and most lucrative busineses in the world, there will never be world peace. The elite have to create a demand and they have throuought history manipulated situations and still do today, did you ever notice you didnt hear a great deal about Lybia untill after Afgan, you hardly heard nothing about Syria untill they'd got Lybia onside with the new friendly rulers. war = $$$ I dont know what they are going to do in the future if everybody just rolls over and becomes the U.N's bitch ? What will happen to Halaburton and Carlisle industries etc.... ? World peace, never Im afraid.

Be interesting if it happens, would the Russiand and Chinese also turn around and do it, i doubt it.
The UN needs a total restructure anyway its barely fit for purpose as it is.
Maybe split the health/ education stuff off into a seperate organisation or something perhaps.

In addition to my earlier post, apparently there is an agreement between the US and Russia to reduce deployed weapons to 1550 by 2018, which is the lowest that can be used to maintain deterrence of a nuclear attack. The US are looking to reduce thier numbers to 300-400 way before 2018. The Russians have no intention of following suit however.
I know theres very little chance of being buddied up with everyone in the world in my lifetime and i know that weapons and war equal big bucks, so it brings me back to my initial question.
If the US are confident enough to reduce their arsenal by so much, whilst their potential enemies retain their high numbers, just what have the weapons manufacturers come up with that replaces what would amount to an obsolete practice but also makes sure that the country remains militarilly strong and continues to line the pockets of the war makers and benefactors?
