The world will drop all of their nuclear weapons on December 21, 2012.

This thread was created due to the knowledge that is known by countries possessing nuclear weapons, and how the tensions around the world do justify the possibilities of a horrific weapon like this being used. Don't think Im blindly posting based on one article. That was added just to support current events of what is going on today with nuclear development as ballistic weapons. And the only way I could see a more "civilized" country using one is if some type of desperation, or crisis was set in place. And even then IMO its still far fetched they would actually use a weapon of that much devistation unless it was first used on them, or they were about to be annihilated. I should have calrified: It wasnt intended as a direct attack to you or the topic, it was a reaction to all the "OMG N-Korea will drop da b0mb on us!!!!!11!eleven!!!" people. Lets face it most people who have an opinion in this thread only know about N-Korea because of Homefront. As an example, a guy above us just posted something about how atomic bombs are 20x more powerfull now then they where durin WWII. How can somebody write a dumb thing like that AND get away with it? I have no idea.... at least read a wikipedia article or something before posting.

Eh, i'd say North Korea is the most likely source actually.  If Kim Jong Il fails and Kim Jong Un isn't assured power.

If he can't get his own way he might as well be remembered forever.

Also, this largely is based on what you consider a "Nuclear Weapon of Mass Destruction" is.

A Nuclear weapon has a decent chance of being used... but non a traditional nuclear weapon.

You won't have to worry about a traditional nuclear bomb until people start using dirty bombs if you ask me.

I don't think that it's impossible, but I do think it's highly unlikely.

Nah, we've moved on from nuclear warfare now. Biological is the future :)

I'd say so, I mean These countries arn't marking them just to see who has the biggest nuclear missle collection are they? I think there will another huge WW within the next 20 years

i can see India or Pakistan firing one at each other tho the war has ended.

tho i do see Iran, NK, India, Pakistan. developing nations accidently denoting one since they are blessed with the highly skilled nuclear bomb experts as the US, Russia, France, UK have after years of testing and also not having the most advanced facilities.

Tho i rather a nation fire bomb another than nuclear bomb the other.

The problem with Nuclear bombs is that the US, Russia, france, UK, China, India, Pakistan, NK and many more have them on standby ready to launch when the time is needed.

Thanks for clarifying that. I would agree some people on here really dont know much about it. However, I have been suprised how much some people on here know about world events, economies, politics, science, ect. You would think a gaming community might be full of fanboys who really dont know jack crap, but this one does have its share of fairly intelligent individuals. Then again, maybe I give too much credit ;).

it "weapon of mass destruction" specifically means nuke then khan is exactly right.

...but i voted probably yes cause appearently i was casting a wider net.  flying a couple of airplanes into skyscrapers may not officially count as a weapon of mass destruction but thousands were killed and new york had a huge whole gauged out of its skyline.  i guess i thought of that as pretty massive destruction and yes, i do expect terrorists to find a way to pull another simular (if not larger) event in terms of death and damages this decade.

but no, not a nuke.  terrorism is the war mongering of the future.
