Fear has a way of being the cause of conflict.. These nuclear weapons are designed to wipe out large cities including civilians, there is no logic or modern reasoning to it, their place is in the history books.
Thier usage hopefully but there continued existance helps keep the peace. I have no problem with the U.S stockpile.
They are totally out of sync with the kind of conflicts in the world today, there are so many dimensions to a conflict than "win". Whoever used nuclear weapons would by every definition be a war criminal. That's the threat US and other nuclear nations poses today. This has to be the next global issue.
There is logic, it's called mutual assured destruction. It's the only thing that has prevented world war from happening since 1945. Even outright victory will be so expensive that war simply isn't realistic option. Only country with nuclear armament that has been attacked is UK in 1982 and even then opponent simply gambled with idea that UK would simply give up.
A world without nuclear weapons is a cause worth fighting for.
The problem is, Kim Fatty-Un and his gang of notorious trouble makers might disagree...
Do you seriously think you can put that genie back in the bottle? The future is not nuclear disarmament. It is nuclear proliferation. Once Iran gets nukes, the floodgates will open and everyone will be getting them, starting with the Saudis.
It's called deterrence. It works.
As long as we're the last to give them up.
Can someone explain to me what the practicality is of having 1000+ more nukes than 95% of countries in the world. I feel like under 1000 would still be enough to **** this world over.
Why is that? If the UK were the last nation it wouldn't pose a threat to the US.I know it sounds naive - but that doesn't mean the vision of a world without nuclear weapons should be kicked to the curb right away.
hurray King Bary.
I have the feeling this forum is bound to become a place of cheers and joy should the Dems win another term.hurray King Bary.
bigger issue to me. Is with reduction of weapons also comes reduction of pit production pay
Attention to what's happening at LANL their budget is being stripped way down and the ability
To maintain current weapons IS being drastically effected
Its a not a bad vision but is a sadly unrealistic one.
