What is your stance on states posessing nuclear weapons?

3 Comments

as stated by the title. I was reading a news article today and I got to thinking. you can just answer the general question, if you feel more adventurous consider answering these individual questions.

1. if it was in your power, would you eradicate all nuclear weapons?

2. do you think they act as an effective detterent to agression from foreign nations?

3. do you think your country ( if it posseses any) would ever use them (in any scenario, right up to the enemy is well within your borders and you face defeat.

4 . do you think its justifiable to nuke civillians?

5. do you think all nations are entitled to possess them? if not, why? what makes a nation worthy of possesing them?

6. point of curiosity, do you know all the nations that possess them?

7. do you think civilians should be able to have them moved if a majority object?

    I would argue that without them, the Cold War would've been a Hot War. Imagine a Total War scenario between the U.S. and her allies and the Soviet Union and her allies with Vietnam era weaponry. Nuclear deterrents have saved far more lives than any other attempts at "peace."

    Using nuclear weapons on civilians isn't great, but the same holds true of any other weapon.

    I don't think that civilians should have them, but I think that (in general) sovereign nations possessing them is a good thing.

    There is no way to put the genie back in the bottle. Humans, with their emotionally feeble thought processes, now have the destructive power of God. And yes, sometime in the remainder of the millennium, we will nuke ourselves.
