Absolutely not. This is patently absurd.
1 nuke does much less damage than a WWII era invasion. You have to have MAD for nukes to guarantee peace. A large number of warheads means that an invasion means COMPLETE AND TOTAL ANNIHILATION for the invading party--not just their armies, but their cities and towns as well. 5000 warheads is enough for this, even with ballistic missile shields, though 30,000 is better. 500 is ok if you are certain you can defeat any defenses. 30 is enough for purely defensive purposes (ie nuking armies as they cross your borders and taking out carrier groups), but that doesn't provide for the element of sheer terror that you really need to stop nationalistic fervor from devolving to military action.

Osan,
Thanks for your insight.
" Anyhow, they'd developed a scanning laser beacon that caused instant and permanent blindness in enemy troops. Word of it leaked out and they had to scrap it (yeah, right)."
Yeah, right. LOL
Not to mention those sound weapons they used at the G-20 and on some pirates recently.

"Quote:
Clinton said the disclosure of numbers the general public has never seen “builds confidence” that the Obama administration is serious about stopping the spread of atomic weapons and reducing their numbers.
Now there's solid reasoning for you."
And was it not under Clinton that the administration gave away nuclear secrets to the Chinese, or that it was "stolen" by that guy whose name I cannot recall these many years later. (Actually, I suspect they "sold" those secrets for campaign moneies.)

Clinton has not only dismantled our national defense, he has given away our military advantages to enemies all too willing to destroy us.
