          No? Who does the US threaten with nukes. Outside of one case with Trump and North Korea I can’t think of any.

            Who does the US threaten with nukes.

            You mean… apart from literally every man, woman and child on the damn planet? What did you think they have those nukes for? As desert decorations?

              Deterrent !== Threatening. Owning a gun is very different from pointing it at someone

                Deterrent !

                Riiiiight… and the US military was merely “defending” 'Murica when they dropped more ordnance on Vietnam and Laos than they dropped during the entire span of WW2.

                Riiiiight.

                Tell me another one, Clyde.

                  I didn’t say that? I said threatening people with nukes. Currently the present day US is not threatening anyone with nukes.

                    I said threatening people with nukes.

                    Again… what did you think those nuke silos exist for? Desert decor, maybe?
