how does making more bomb assure there will be no M.A.D. to me if you don't want to use bombs you don't build them... we aren't telling Iran they can't build them for no fucking reason.. we are telling them that so we don't have to make a better one..

there is no point in making a bomb if you don't plan on using it... that's fucking stupid... that's what MAD means... it means we don't need to make bombs any more because we agreed we aren't going to use them...

what part of that don't you get?? do don't say we're not going to fight anymore than work on your kicks and punches... that's fucking stupid and it only makes others look like you and to kick and punch something... what don't you get about that??

More than 31,000 nuclear weapons are still maintained by the eight known nuclear powers, a decrease of only 3,000 since 1998. Ninety-five percent of these weapons are in the United States and Russia, and more than 16,000 are operationally deployed. Even if the United States and Russia complete their recently announced arms reductions over the next 10 years, they will continue to target thousands of nuclear weapons against each other.

Furthermore, many if not most of the U.S. warheads removed from the active stockpile will be placed in storage (along with some 5,000 warheads already held in reserve) rather than dismantled, for the express purpose of re-deploying them in some future contingency. As a result, the total U.S. stockpile will remain at more than 10,000 warheads for the foreseeable future. Russia, on the other hand, seeks a verifiable, binding agreement that would ensure retired U.S. and Russian weapons are actually destroyed, a position we support.

Despite a campaign promise to rethink nuclear policy, the Bush administration has taken no steps to significantly alter nuclear targeting doctrine or reduce the day-to-day alert status of U.S. nuclear forces. If Russia is no longer an adversary, what is the rationale for retaining the ability to incinerate more than 2,000 Russian targets in as little as 30 minutes (or at all)?

Meanwhile, the U.S. national weapons laboratories, with the support of some in Congress, are hard at work refining existing warheads and designing entirely new weapons, with a special emphasis on those able to attack and destroy hardened and deeply buried targets. And to ensure that such new designs can be tested, the U.S. administration seeks to shorten the time required to resume testing to as little as twelve months--a move that can only encourage other countries, including India, Pakistan, and China, to consider resuming testing. Although the United States has not conducted a full-scale test since 1992--and the administration says it has no plans to resume testing at this time--it refuses to recognize the overwhelming international support for the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) and refuses to participate in international meetings to discuss implementing the treaty. Should the required signatories, including India and Pakistan, fail to ratify the CTBT, thus jeopardizing its entry into force, the world will lose an essential tool in halting the further development and spread of nuclear weapons.

the CTBT

Article I stipulates the basic obligations of the Treaty, and prohibits State parties from carrying out any nuclear explosion.

Article II provides for the establishment of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization in Vienna to ensure the Treaty's implementation as well as providing a forum for consultation and cooperation.

Article III focuses on national implementation measures.

Article IX states that the Treaty is of unlimited duration.


so... you keep preaching your theory... i'll keep posting the facts... we are not allowed to reasearch or build nukes... if we do, other will... and well all blow up... what MAD means... but you keep thinking what you think it means... but tell me what the fuck CTBT means ok??

once again you're the ignorant fuck... i'm right... this is fun Bong... next time though.. try to think about something before you type it... it's getting too easy...
