AcGregor has this interesting thesis that nuclear weapons were very valuable in the past because the weapons of the time had no precision. As he says, you would point your cannon in a certain direction, take your best shot - and if you were lucky, you would hit the target. Nuclear weapons were valuable because they were so powerful that even if you missed the intended target by a mile, everything would be destroyed anyway. Nowadays, precision weapons can accomplish what needs to be done with a great degree of reliability. So, that’s good news. Maybe eliminating entire great cities and populated territories may no longer be necessary. This makes nukes mostly a retaliation weapon - allows a nation to answer in kind if they’re attacked. We shall see (but I hope we never find out). Thanks! That was a great talk by Dr. MacGregor. Not long ago he had a very interesting 3 part conversation with a military historian by the name Michael Vlahos. It was very good. I think many people here may have heard it. If interested, I would try to find it and post it again. Never mind. Here it is. Parts 1 through 3. youtu.be youtu.be youtu.be
