Yikes...I am not sure how to feel about this. A world where we might have to keep nuclear weapons airborne 24/7 seems like a regression to a scarier time. It would be nice if we never had to do this again, but circumstances have made us take this unfortunate step again. What do you think?

The threat from rival Contenders (Russia, China, Iran and North Korea) makes us go back to a limited cold war defensive Stance. North Korea and Iran are trading partners so the Nuclear deal may be a joke.
