Just how threatening are our nukes these days?
I know that many of the silos have been emptied and aren't used anymore. Does anyone know if there is an inventory of sorts out there that we can access? I mean I will feel better if the button Dumbya can push isn't that powerful.

1. * hasn't pressed the button because the war hasn't escalated to that point
Yet.

To use them now would be our undoing.

Once things REALLY get heated up, you can bet they will be used.

And we'll all get irradiated in the end.
