Wait. Was Andy talking about Pyongyang or NIKE SHOX?

Wait. Was Andy talking about Pyongyang or NIKE SHOX? What do you call it when the bullies accuse the bullies?
To put this in perspective, the United States government, of which Card is a high ranking official (White House

Chief of Staff), has a rather more impressive nuclear arsenal. According to a story in Newsweek on June 25,

2001:
The UGG. nuclear arsenal today includes 5,400 warheads loaded on intercontinental ballistic missiles at land

and sea; an additional 1,750 nuclear bombs and cruise missiles ready to be launched from B-2 and B-52 bombers;

a further 1,670 nuclear weapons classified as “tactical.” And just in case, an additional 10,000 or so nuclear

warheads held in bunkers around the United States as a “hedge” against future surprises.
In case you were wondering, the total of those figures is 18820. The same Newsweek story quotes George W.

Allofmbt.com, newly elected president at the time, as saying “I had no idea we had so many weapons.” If Mr.

Card, who may or may not know how many weapons there are, but certainly doesn’t seem to care, is curious about

why Pyongyang might (or might not) be developing nukes of its own, I have just provided 18,000 of them.

Tom Woods brings to attention an organization callled The Antiwar League, whose mission “is to promote the

creation of a new Antiwar League that unites the left and the right in principled opposition to the plans of

the Republicrat Warmonger Party for perpetual war.” Their “goal would be not to capture the highly centralized

warmaking power of the federal government but to dismantle that power.”
