i wish i could afford to move...

somewhere that doesnt think that we are all that and a bag of chips. the us is the most hypocritical country on the face of the earth. we cant tell other countries not to have nukes when we have nukes. if two countries want to use them on each other then let them. problem solved

if they have half a brain they wont because it would just ruin their countrie making resources unusable and killing people.

the us just needs to leave people alone and stop trying to run the world

imo future of this

US needs nukes to stay on top

Russia & China need to protect their Intrests

India needs it to keep Rising China and Pak at bay

Pak needs it to expand islamic adgenda

France needs it just because its France

UK needs it because it wants to be US jr.

Whatever the reasons are if countries want nukes they will have it. Unfair treaties do not work in the long run. Fair may mean who ever wants nuke and can afford it can have it, but who ever "uses" it gets collectively clobbered by others .

North Korean nuke

How come North Korea's missile looks like something from an Estes rocket kit? Can't we get a better picture with some perspective as to the size? The billions we spend on the NSA

and CIa should get the job done right.

nuke haves should stop threatening non-nukes

the USA should stop bullying and threatening nukeless states and violating the NPT by sharing the technology with countries outside the treaty. they have signed a deal with india so that they can start sharing the technology for civilian use but this is violating the treaty. NATO nuke-sharing is also a violation of the treaty because the BIG5 promised not to transfer the weapons to other countries and also to reduce their arsenals. they keeps saying they have reduced their nukes arsenals but in reality they are beefing it up every year and that makes them the untouchables. we all need to understand as to why many countries are desperate to acquire the bomb, otherwise you will soon see many countries pulling out of the treaty citing unfairness and dirty games as their main reason. i personally think all the countries should get ready of those dangerous weapons for the safety of all the people. politicians are criminals and all they do is igniting wars as if they go in battlefields, they seeks conflicts for their own advantages.

nukes

nukes r the future u should get some they nice

Nuclear Weapons

Nuclear Weapons helped stop a World War but as others learned the technique the world is too dangerous and they will only cause the death of the world. As anyone can see when ever there is a disagreement there are threats of nuclear warfare. When people all over the world realize that war and death are no way to live, and to love one another in peaceful ways will there ever be peace. I don't care what religious belief people have as long as that religion does not teach it is ok to kill other people. Nor do I let religion dictate to me how many babies to have or not to have. If we all had laws based on the Ten Commandments and strictly enforced there would be no crimes, wars, or hate in the world. Certainly there would be no rapes, incest, or murdering of Children or Women. We would all live as equals.

Nuclear Weapons have been obsolete for years(over a decade at least)

Nuclear Weapons are of the past. DDD are of most importance in these immediate times.

Pakistan Nukes

I guess I just don't understand why atheistic Chicoms would want to help fundamentalist Muslims living next door in Pakistan build the Bomb. Isn't it more likely we in the US helped Pakistan go nuclear as the price of admission to fight the first Afghan war?

After all, didn't we sell anti aircraft rockets to Iran the same time we were giving Israel

F15 and F16 aircraft?
