What good has the nuclear arsenal done to America? The society is still decaying at a rapid pace. Just a few days ago a howling mob of 70 Blacks assaulted white passengers on the DC metro train, terribly beating a young white boy and sending other whites to the hospital. This assault is endemic of the rot infesting American cities, that no nuclear arsenal can cure. One day, all that will be left of America "The Beautiful" will be a rusting pile of nuclear weapons.

Kihnu know representation of true evil, then you have got to read Joseph Conrad’s novel Heart of Darkness. It is amazing the man who wrote this novel was a young man from Poland who saw through what lurked just underneath the white mask/skin that camouflaged the darkest evil of greed, of corruption and of inhumanity in the 19th century version of the Civilizing Mission of the White Man’s Burden. I do respect free speech, though. I respect your views, despite their frightening implications so long you are not in a position to act on them.

I fully agree with RT in general the Nuclear Race was indeed both a scare and intimidation tool by the United State's lets face it who was it that killed those lost in Hiroshima and Nagasaki United States. The Soviet's were forced into a Nuclear Race sadly which led to an all out political war for which was counter-productive the 40's 50's 60's these decades were dominated by the Nuclear Race between United States & the former USSR (CCCP). I just wish the world never created nuclear weapons in the first place then most of all this could have all been avoided. However it is a real shame the Unites States always plays it's joker card and creating a scapegoat in the form of the Soviet Union. But now the damage has now indeed been done and needless lives have been lost in Japan on those fateful days that they were bombed and the majority of the casualties were civilian too. I hope Russia does do well in knowing that they did not commit genocide of this magnitude in the Second World War. I fully condemn Nuclear Arsenals it's just too much power and leverage for anyone to have. I fully sympathise with the former USSR-Russia this was one needless push too many. Most of all I do sympathise with the Japanese that they lost those that was near and dear caught in the middle of opposing Superpowers however the United States flicked the trigger.
