Omar: Is there a scenario for eliminating the US nuclear weapons ?

Lawrence: When the world is utterly at peace with no more Islamists, no more rogue states like North Korea or Iran, and a reliable means for checking and stopping a nation with roguish designs from developing nuclear weapons, the U.S. would in a Fukuyamian future be willing to get rid of its nuclear weapons as the last nation who has them.

They might be 'able' to do it, but they certainly never WOULD. Do you actually believe they REALLY disarmed all those thousands of nukes they had aimed at big bad Russia in the 70s? Of course not, they just re-aimed them. There will NEVER be a day without nuclear weapons. It'd be too dangerous.
