Translated: Dems plan to continue focusing their efforts on useless investigations into trivia. Because the intent is to provoke donations and keep the focus off their own corruption and incompetence, not to actually do anything to resist Trump.

Continuing the discussion from Making a better World War II :
A point often missed in disarmament discussions is the observation that shields are more dangerous than swords.
The factor that drives war isn’t “we have the power to destroy our enemies”. It’s “we’re invulnerable; we can be as dickish as we like and no-one can stop us”. Even worse is “we’re invulnerable now, but if we don’t destroy our rivals immediately we might become vulnerable”.
This is why the nuclear control treaties strongly prohibited the sorts of missile defence systems that the USA has been burning money on since Reagan (in blatant defiance of said treaties). As soon as a nuclear power has a reliable anti-ICBM defence, MAD stops working.
“We’re invulnerable; we can be as dickish as we like and no-one can stop us” pretty much describes US foreign policy since the end of the Cold War.
