Trump Told Military Leaders He Wanted Ten Times More Nukes Than The U.S. Has — REPORT

Story by bustle.com

Nuclear nonproliferation has been the stated goal of every president since Ronald Reagan. That's 37 years of uninterrupted American policy, a strategy older than President Trump's adult children. And yet, according to an NBC News report, in a July meeting at the Pentagon, Trump expressed his desire to build up the U.S. nucleararsenal to almost ten times its current size. Some have pointed out that it was Trump's stunning request that prompted Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to dub the president a "moron," a comment that reportedly followed this very same meeting.

Military officials were briefing Trump on the trajectory of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile, and reportedly showed the president a slide pictorially demonstrating the number of said weapons declining. Officials relayed to NBC News that it was then that Trump jumped in and voiced his desire to turn that downward slide around. And according to officials present at the meeting, Trump didn't restrict his expansion goals to just growing the U.S. cache of nuclear arms — he also wanted a broader military increase of personnel and other weapons.

Some present at the meeting reportedly took Trump's military ambitions as indicative of ignorance on American policy and the complex processes involved in a nuclear arms build up.

Chief among the many problems with Trump's dismissal of nuclear nonproliferation is the arms race such an American policy shift would almost certainly set in motion. Should the United States begin to build up its nuclear weapons arsenal, Russia would likely feel both obligated and free to do the same. That's to say nothing of how other adversarial powers — most notably, Iran and North Korea — would react. Both nations are regularly hostile towards the United States, and could use the American policy as justification for their own sprint towards nuclear weapons. An indeterminate number of other countries would likely follow suit.

That the president himself did not seem to recognize this very predictable and extremely ominous chain of events is deeply troubling to many. Among those put off by Trump's ignorance was reportedlyTillerson, whose now infamous "moron" comment has a clearer (possible) antecedent for the secretary of state.

Officials present told NBC that during the July 20 meeting Trump pointed to the slide showing America's shrinking nuclear arsenal, and said he wanted to make it as large as it had been at its 1960s peak of 32,000 weapons. Currently, the United States has about 4,000 nuclear weapons.
