   It’s worse:

   So either Trump is responding to Putin by escalating rather than trying to push for adherence to agreements, or they’re just both in cahoots, looking to co-ordinate efforts.

   Don’t we have enough nuclear weapons to annihilate the world a hundred times over? So he’s saying we need MORE until the world “comes to it’s senses?”

   The number of nuclear weapons was considerably reduced in the 1990s

   Jim, that’s all well and good but until they’re reduced to zero nuclear weapons the point is largely academic. It matters not if they have enough to destroy us all a hundred times over or a thousand; once will be enough, don’t you think?

   Strange days, indeed. The Time has a whole article trying to decipher what the fuck he means.

   Taken in full, Mr. Trump’s post conveys a range of possible meanings. At one end of that spectrum, it could be read as essentially repeating a central line from Mr. Obama’s 2009 speech, in Prague, setting out American nuclear policy. At the other end, it could be read as unintentionally echoing a recent North Korean statement of nuclear policy.

   Actually, the United States must thoroughly lock down its nuclear capability until such time as the Donald comes to his senses regarding nukes.
