Increases dramatically, no one wins an arms race, they just have to keep going, and eventually that creates severe problems for the weaker of the powers, leading to a massive amount of strength for the stronger one, and an overall less stable earth.

Everyone seems to forget about the Cuban missile crisis.

  @9CJ6CB6 from Virginia  disagreed…1yr1Y

How so? We had a much less stable environment, and that nearly destroyed us like 40 times. The Soviets were the weaker power, they got destroyed later, and America got a massive military increase.

The military industrial complex in DC survives on constant Arms races.

And that’s one of my many problems with it. Even china has one, it’s become exactly the same thing it tried to escape, but so much worse than usual so then I feel almost morally obligated to side with America regardless. Right now my priority is making sure no nuclear warhead is ever blown up on people ever again.

Trump hits ‘nasty’ Michelle Obama at Atlanta rally

Former President Trump attacked former first lady Michelle Obama during his rally in Atlanta on Monday, calling her “nasty” after Obama lobbed attacks at the former president while stumping for Vice President Harris.“You know who’s nasty to me? Michelle Obama,” Trump told supporters in Atlanta.“I always tried to be so nice and respectful. Oh, she opened up a little bit of — a little bit of a box. She opened up a little bit of something. Oh, she was nasty. Shouldn’t be that way. That was a big mistake that she made,” he added.His remarks come after Obama criticized Trump during a Michigan rally on Saturday, at one point mentioning “Donald Trump’s gross incompetence.”“I hope that you’ll forgive me if I’m a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon, a known slum lord, a predator found liable for sexual abuse, all of this while we pick apart Kamala’s answers from interviews that he doesn’t even have the courage to do, y’all,” she said in Kalamazoo, Mich.The heated rhetoric underscores the increasingly personal tone the presidential election has taken between the two campaigns roughly one week out from the election.An aggregate of national surveys compiled by The Hill/Decision Desk HQ shows Harris slightly ahead at close to 49 percent support while Trump is at 48 percent.
