Of course, I didn't mention anything about "Nuclear Winter", but why let that stop you? For what it is worth, "Desert Storm" was decidedly non-nuclear

The characterization was Sagan's, not mine.

And spending trillions of dollars on something that we don't know if it will work sounds like good sense!

Where are you getting your "trillions of dollars" figure?

Also before we even spend hundreds of billions we will have a much better idea about how well it will work, so a more accurate statement would be a complaint about how we will be spending dozens of billions on "something that we don't know if it will work".
