Lose Nukes


Preventing the use of Nuclear weapons is one of the reasons the US Military is the world’s policeman. The objective is to prevent terrorists from having access to nuclear weapons. A nuclear bomb exploding in any large city would destroy that city and its economy. Most countries lack the resources to prevent this.

The eradication of terror groups is required to deny these groups a base and the resources needed to build and deploy a nuclear device. Islamic terrorists are particularly dangerous, because their Koran encourages the killing of all non-Muslims and suicide bombers are promised immortality.

The risk of a nuclear explosion is also increased by proliferation of nuclear weapons. Having these weapons fall into the wrong hands is most likely by having them in unstable countries.

The US is establishing a Space Force to deploy the capability to destroy or redirect intercontinental ballistic missiles in space. This is designed to make these missiles useless. That leaves nuclear device delivery by terrorists or hostile countries still viable.
