    You… what? That’s not… this is not how nuclear deterrence works.

    You don’t need a deterrence against France because they’re “mad at you”, what the hell. And yeah, China does have nuclear weapons, and yes, they and Russia are your primary concerns even though Trump is in Putin’s pocket to some degree
