We don't. But it's basically impossible to get rid of them given the existence of incentives.

Perhaps it is time we truly change those incentives once and for all.

Whatever “effectiveness” nuclear weapons have is not worth it. Rather relegate them to the dust bin of history under “terrible decision, do not recommend, keep away”

I realize it’s merely wishful thinking right now but it feels paramount to me

I don't understand how that would be possible.
