I was just talking about the development costs, not the production

Amazing!


MAD has been pretty successful in preventing large hot wars so far.
Still, if you look out across the next thousand years, it is hard to
imagine that nuclear weapons won't still exist on this planet, if not
something even worse. What are the odds that they will never be used?

MAD only works when both side have the ability to reason.

This is why Iran and other Islamist regimes and groups should be
prevented form possessing Nukes.
