Eliminating all nuclear weapons is a fools errand...

“The fact that Russia felt compelled to go in militarily,” Mr. Obama said, “indicates less influence, not more.”
He said Russia was largely a threat to its neighbors, not to the United States.
He said he continued to be more concerned about “the prospect of a nuclear weapon going off in Manhattan.” [i.e., FU EU]

Eliminating all nuclear weapons is a fools errand...
The campaign to reach “global zero” — the elimination of all nuclear weapons worldwide — has become a cause celebre among an array of retired statesmen, as well as an important policy priority of President Obama himself. But this effort is handicapped by its adoption of several seriously wrong-headed assumptions, positions and ideas that U.S. media outlets have tended to swallow without careful scrutiny.
The first and more egregious problem is the campaign’s radical proposal to eliminate the nearly 500 existing U.S. land-based missiles and their associated launch control facilities. Doing so would reduce American nuclear assets by upward of 98 percent. It would also give adversaries of the United States added incentive to try challenging American nuclear primacy
