US warns Australia against voting for Arms Control at next World Congress

Nuclear weapons are ridiculous for so many reasons. They're so destructive and detrimental to our environment that threatening any nuclear action is like pointing a gun at your own face and yelling "I'll do it!" They cost a shit ton to maintain, especially for something that will NEVER be used. We have so many of these damn things worldwide that if one does get used, odds are more than one will be used and we will all die. And before someone chimes in with some bullshit argument, nuclear weapons DO NOT FOSTER PEACE. Being in a constant standoff with weapons that will kill everyone in existence if ever used isn't exactly peaceful. International relations/trade is how you want to foster peace, not weapons that could be the death of every human being on the planet.
