Let's keep the nukes... for now

I don't want us to give up the nuclear deterrent juuuuust yet.

"We do not have nuclear weapons so that we can wipe out the planet in the case that someone launches a nuclear strike against us. All that would do is turn an awful situation into a total apocalypse. Rather, we have them so that that situation can't happen in the first place. The threat of our nukes prevent others from using theirs."
