Amid a changing global security landscape and ongoing sovereignty taunts from U.S. President Donald Trump, one military expert says Canada may need to reconsider its position on nuclear weapons.
It would be a good idea for the guy with no matches to get matches. If the guy with all the matches is much stronger than the guy without matches, the guy without matches would benefit from the threat of being able to take the other guy down with him.
Two men stand in a pool of gasoline. One man has 20 matches one has 5.
The man with five matches gives up his matches under the promise that the man with 20 matches won’t hit him. A couple other men with matches at the edge of the pool of gasoline promise to uphold this agreement.
20 years later the man with 20 matches takes the man who now has no matches’ arm. All the signatories let it slide because the man with 20 matches had a decent claim to the elbow. 10 years after that, the man with 20 matches tries to take the entirety of the man with no matches; the men with matches on the edge of the pool are afraid to do anything less matches get thrown back at them.
Two men standing in a pool of gasoline. One man has 20 matches while the other has none.

Obviously he should. Having a match, which is a genuine threat to the other man’s life, is the only thing that will give him a seat at the table.
Two disparate puddles of gasoline.
Hiroshima/Nagasaki did not render the country or world inhabitable.
It would be a good idea for the guy with no matches to get matches. If the guy with all the matches is much stronger than the guy without matches, the guy without matches would benefit from the threat of being able to take the other guy down with him.
That’s MAD
