I guess if it’s one thing I’d like to leave for posterity it’s the competing armed defense doctrines of #manufactureforuse v. #deterrence [i.e. #nucleardeterrence], see also Psalm 11.

A thought from when I was young: inventories of nukes a nuisance? [e.g. proliferation and access increase odds weapons made for deterrence will be uses which otherwise might not have been used. In manufacture for use which was a motto promoted during WWII, a plan calls for manufacture to meet a need or foreseeable need, such as hardware. The armed party must be concerned with psychological warfare, e.g. information, espionage, if part of it’s arsenal is exclusively for their deterrent value].
