Will there be a Nuclear Weapon of Mass Destruction Detonated on a People Group this Decade?

Yes. It Will Happen 16 10.26%
 
Most likely Yes 20 12.82%
 
Probably Not 99 63.46%
 
No. Impossible. 20 12.82%
 
Total:155

So VGChartz, what are your thoughts? Will there be some kind of Weapon of Mass Destruction detonated on a nation/people group within this decade? There are certainly more signs of the possibility coming up with more nations acquiring nuclear capabilities.

I pray and hope this does not happen, but my thought is that likely at some point soon there will be a country with nuclear capabilities that will arm a terrorist group with a nuclear weapon, whom will then detonate it within a populated area. Could be a terrorist group detonating it in Israel, somewhere in europe, a major US city, among a number of places.  This in turn would ignite a world war/ huge world crisis that rocks economies and plunges the world into a new era.

VGChartz members, what are your thoughts? Expound on why you think the way you do on this, please.

No



Anyone who's breaking the law is obvious a criminal.

I could see it happen, some rogue states like North Korea certainly have less to lose if they use them diplomatically and ethnically and they are a very powerful weapon on the battlefield



I think it's highly unlikely, but you never know how crazy North Korea or Iran goes.
I just hope for the people that we never have to use Nuclear weapons again.

playing right now: Xenoblade Chronicles

Hype-o-meter, from least to most hyped:  the Last Story, Twisted Metal, Mass Effect 3, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Playstation ViTA

bet with Mordred11 that Rage will look better on Xbox 360.

Although its so extreme i cant see any country actually going as far as to use one, there is still a chance although i'd hope not



End of 2012 prediction:

xbox 360 : 73-75 million  playstation 3 : 72-74 million  wii : 104-105 million

Exactly. I don't want people to think Im fear mongering here, but its a reality that everyone has to face. The possibility IMO seems to be getting more and more. I could see if North Korea gets to a point where it is desperate enough it could happen. I think though it seems more likely that a country like them would give it to a terrorist group to use. In that case noone would be able to retaliate with a nuke on any particular country if they did not know who supplied the Terrorist group with the nuke , whereas if a particular country used the nuke themselves on a people group then that country and its allies would know who to retaliate with.




I sure hope so. I really want to live on the moon.



The only two country's i can see going as far as using nuclear tech for war puropse's is North Korea and Iran.

And as for your question. No it will more than likely not happen. Atleast not in this decade.



Neh... Biological is the way to go....



 

Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!)
