Instead of Minuteman I, II, & III, rename ICBMs more natural and fun things like “Gulf of Mexico Creator”, “Big Bang Simulator”, or even “Chernobyl the Experience”. This would help a lot with comprehension for many people and maybe politicians.
Or we could de-escalate, and focus on problems in our nation, that’s novel too. Maybe a bill that could rename nukes would bring issues of Americans to attention of their representatives (being a sick and poor country). The intention being changing our military posture and focusing on the future and prosperity of US citizens. De-escalating nuclear tensions and allowing citizens to not be involved in trade wars with adversary nations would directly benefit US citizens, through both financial, and nuclear security. It would likely also allow many nations around a the world focus on technological developments other than weapons of war (it’s strange that militaries always have the latest technologies years before citizens know they exist).
The end result doesn’t have to be changing the name of the ‘Minuteman,’ the goal has to be changing the policy; the nuclear posture of the US, with the goal of influencing economies pushing toward a war around the world like our own. We’ve allowed an unreachable goal (American control of the military and financial world), to get in the way of the true intention (ensuring the financial stability and safety of every US citizen).
Let us Americans work on building a better future for us: ending the health crises, rebuilding from disasters, and developing new American technology, not being worried about repercussions for our imperialist endeavors. Stop causing fear based trade wars posing financial instability and nuclear war for both US citizens and humans abroad, it seems mutualistic.
Stop the snowball toward nuclear war and allow free trade for the US to prosper, simply rename our nukes. Maybe it takes using the ridiculousness of the legislative process (dishonest titles and encyclopedia sized bills) to get actual change in real impactful human policy.
