seriously?

Anyway, i would think not. Any nation that uses them would have to know that the repercussions against them would be tremendous. I mean, North Korea is unstable, but even they have a self-preservation instinct, and they know, proof positive, that they will be destroyed if the use their nuke

No way unless terrorists get their hands on nuclear weapons, and it seems pretty unlikely. And even if they do get their hands on nuclear weapons, it is doubtful they can have a good chance to use them.

I highly doubt it. The countries with the capability to develop a nuclear bomb are too dependent upon other leaders' opinions of them to ever do something like that.

The exceptions to that rule are Iran and North Korea, neither of which would dare for fear of retaliation.

Few countries could use it in combat and get away with it ( USA, Russia, China, maybe an EU state). So dont be afraid, your childish nightmares of N-Korea or Iran using them is more improbable then a more ``civilized`` one using them Except if they are ran down, in which case I hope they do use it...

I love it when somebody reads a biased article and thinks that they know all that is to be known about its subject

I honestly do not see it happening. Most nuclear nations have conventional military forces that are easily more then capable of dealing with threats. The two most cited rogue states are basically dictatorships where the grip on power is actually more tenuous then most concede. They are likely to rattle their sabers, and nothing more. On the terror front not only are groups getting more fractured, but they are becoming increasingly localized. They simply lack the logistical ability to orchestrate such an attack.

The only conceivable scenario would be an exchange between China and India. Even then it would take a number of steps to get to that point. I am less concerned about nuclear arms, and more concerned about groups of people for the most part. Population statistics are terrifying, and it is those that raise concerns about resource shortages that will increase global tensions, and the increasing danger of truly lethal global pandemics.

This really isn't a good topic to joke around in, especially when the joke is referring to something horrible like nuclear weapons.

I could see it happening due to global stupidity, but still it's unlikely as everyone has there fears.

Hmm, I hope not, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Terrorist groups could get hold of a nuclear bomb, or as people have already said, North Korea could drop one.

I wouldn't be surprised if the USA dropped one either, depends if an idiot gets in as President again.

No, chemical wepons ftw!

Depending on the country being nuked, it certainly doesn't have to be a bad thing.
