| Player1x3 said: I believe ALL countries should have nuclear weaponry. That way, west cannot bully and manipulate other countries, and if they try to, they just bomb cities like Washington, London, Paris, LA and other western capitals. If all countries have nuclear weaponry, west will eventually choke and die in its own paranoia, and will eventually become quite weak by which point we wouldnt need nukes to destroy them. Once western imperialism is dead world will mostly be peaceful. This is exactly how USSR collapsed, and its how MOST OF great empires collapsed. The great empire can only de destroyed from the outside once its dead on the inside. Im 100% for giving nuclear weapons TO MORE countries in the world. Either that, or DISARM ALL countries of nuclear weaponry, but western paranoia is too huge for that to happen |
Yah the west chokes and dies of paranoia but so does every single other Government on earth. If everyone had nukes and one country used them the others would have to respond. Even if the countries tried to hold back and contain the situation nukes would be flying all over. Every single organized Government would be destroyed. Then rebel groups and militia would cease nukes and use them recklessly in every conflict they get involved in. Yes the human race would likely survive but not by much.
The whole earth would be a big ball of fire. You actually think a nuclear Armageddon would make the world peaceful? lol their would be no world left to be peaceful. Look at the Middle East or Africa as perfect examples. They hate one another and they attack one another and Western Imperialism and Eastern powers like China and Russia keep the world from spiraling out of control. If you give all the countries nukes they will destroy one another and the whole world for that matter.
Saudi Arabia would nuke everyone around them as would Iran, Syria and every other country in the mid east. The Western Imperialists would try to control the situation like they always do, but they would get drawn into using nukes as well, pretty soon every global power would be destroyed.
Ever seen the TV show Jericho? That is what would happen to every country on earth but far worse. Instead of each town fighting one another with assault rifles and tanks they would be blowing one another off the map with nukes. The world would fall into utter chaos and anarchy, a system of Government would never be attainable from that point on.
| SamuelRSmith said: No, not any means necessary. We must engage in those countries who wish to develop nuclear weapons, but with a carrot and not a stick. Promise countries something in return for giving up their programs, rather than threaten them with sanctions if they don't - punishing countries will just turn future generations against us. The carrot approach is also likely to get universal support, too - sanctions often cause countries like Russia and China to stand down, further empowering countries like North Korea and Iran to continue their programs (I understand that NK already has 1 or 2 warheads, but they need to continue development of delivery systems). |
Well I did say any means necessary and that does include diplomacy. However which carrot do you honestly think is good enough to deter a Government from aquiring nukes? Nuclear weapons are an insurance policy and once a country has them nobody is likely to invade or do anything that could risk them being used. The Iranian people themselves couldn't even topple the revolutionary guard if they had nukes, the international community would not allow those nukes to fall into terrorist hands and that means they would essentially be forced to help keep Iran's Government in power.
Their is a reason Pakistan gets so much aid money and is protected so much. Pakistan can support terrorists they can kick Nato troops out of the country they can attack almost anyone without fear of retribution. The US will continue to send huge amounts of aid and will continue to be Pakistan's bitch, why? Because Pakistan has nukes, if the US were to try and disarm Pakistan it would be a huge and very risky deal.
Those saying the US or any power could safely disarm a nuclear power drastically under estimates the nuclear powers. Pakistan's nukes are in multiple secure locations across the country. Pakistan has delivery systems capable of hitting many nearby countries, if they couldn't directly fly a warhead into Delhi or Mumbai they could easily give a nuclear device to the ISI or Taliban and they could possibly blow up almost any target.
Their is absolutely nothing you could give Iran to deter them from building a warhead, nothing. Sanctions also will not work because Iran knows that the sanctions are only temporary and once they have nukes they will either be lifted or aid will start flowing in and the international community will actually have to work with them regardless of what Iran does.
A nuke is essentially a get of jail free card, an insurance policy that will protect your Government as long as you don't use one. The threat of using one and the fear it puts into your enemies is enough to deter any kind of attack within or outside your country. It also guarantees financial stability!
