    Even with recent changes to the Russian nuclear policy, the US still has the most aggressive nuclear posture in the world. The US still considers nuclear weapons a warfighting weapon and has never ruled out or even constrained their ability to launch a first strike.

      even the Brits are unhinged like that. one of the many things people yelled at Corbin about was him saying that he would never do a nuclear first strike

        So I grew up in a town where anti-nuclear weapons was the default political position. Like, if you asked some random dude on the street he'd be like "we should probably get rid of them."

        It shocks me so much every time I'm reminded that the rest of the Anglosphere is actually magnitudes more insane

      Instead there's been articles within the last couple years about them putting nuclear weapons on fighter jets or allocating the funds to upgrade fighters to support them.
