Not the point. Point was that the US has built and used nuclear weapons to facilitate their geopolitical needs. US has built plenty of nukes since that time, could argue that they were "used" as a deterrant against Soviets.
there must be something missing. The US would not resort to nuclear warfare and then abide by normal trade relations. If the US goes nuclear the US will obtain any needed resources by force as necessary. Domestic production capacity can and will be increased/implemented as needed. No trade with China basically means that a Tshirt costs what a Tshirt should cost instead of the cost of a Tshirt made by a political prisoner or 6 year old child.
Just as England did extraordinary things when faced with annilihation by the Nazies (hey got around to Nazies before the 6th page), the US will do extraordinary things if the terrorists truly threaten American soverigenty.
Oh and their is nothing immoral about using nuclear weapons. They are just bombs, big ole bombs that do a lot of damage, but just bombs none the less. I personaly would like to see the US use more air burst gasoline weapons. Those things really go boom and ruin your day if you are anywhere near it. US used them in Afghanastan when we had Bin laden pinned in those mountains. Some foreign reporters believed the US had used some of their nuclear arsenal. They leave a real impression on the receptient.
