Couldn't figure out which room to put this in, so I put it here. A brilliant plan occurred to me as I was sleeping last night. Seeing as how our nuclear-armed adversaries like Russia, Iran, and North Korea seem to have fallen on some hard times, President Trump should offer to purchase their entire stocks of nuclear weapons.
Of course President Trump being the smart businessman he is, would not pay full value. For instance, Russia currently has 6,800 nuclear weapons. They spent approximately 606 billion roubles in 2016 ($10.8 billion) on nuclear weapons.
Now considering they have 6,800 nuclear weapons, a nice round $1,000000 apiece would purchase all of them. But that would be $6.8 trillion dollars, which I think is too high, especially for a bunch of antiquated Russian nuclear weapons, which may or may not work Maybe President Trump could talk them down to a half-million apiece. He's a businessman, you know.
Iran may or may not have any nuclear weapons. I'm pretty sure they'd be willing to part with them for a cheap price at this point.
China has approximately 215 of them. Hey China! How about them tariffs? Give us those nukes and we'll call them off.
North Korea? Seeing how dirt-poor those bastards are, I bet they'd trade them to us for a couple pallets of MRE's and some basketball videos.
Let's not stop here, how about Venezuela? No nukes, but they have plenty of Russian and Chinese military hardware. Let's see: Bare bright copper wire is at $1.80 per pound. Light iron - $46.00 per ton. #1 steel - $82.00 per ton. Shreddable steel - $84.00 per ton.
Hey Venezuela! You gettin' hungry yet? Let's make a deal.
