What do you think about nuclear weapons?

Question

Except of the two nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end World War II, there have been more than 2000 nuclear tests carried out by 7 nations that are known to have nuclear weapons.

The above map above shows the number of explosions each country has conducted, the total in the lower right, and the white dots show where nuclear explosions have happened. between 1945 and 1997, when the United Nations Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (passed in 1996) effectively stopped nuclear tests, with some notable exceptions (ex: North Korea).

If you'd like to see a time-lapse map of all the tests , take a look at this video...

Now, the world is concerned that Russia might use nuclear weapons in its conflict with Ukraine.

What do you think?

I can say it very plainly.

Too much offense. Not enough defense.

This kind of weaponry at this maxed out level, would end humanity for sure. Everyone throw their “cards” on the “green and blue table,” and that’s it.

There is NO FUTURE in nuclear warfare.

That’s just not practical, nor realistic.

Effects are irreversible and “messy.”

Can’t be controlled, or precise and thus, will affect not just populations (innocent and non innocent people), but the actual land and its viability to extract resources or cultivate/maintain/ harvest resources.

Nuclear weapons only helped “end the war with Japan.”

*Nuclear warfare* will not end wars- it would end humanity and would never be used again, once it is used at its full capacity.

Anyone who threatens or proposes this is a fool. I said it: a fool.

I think it’s a tool to manipulate, but by now in the game, every country has this glorious weapon nicknamed (by me): Self Destruct Mode.

If one country uses it- they all do, and that’s that… for humanity that is, and the animals will have no idea what hit them, naturally…

I’m personally not worried, but I’d be pissed if he dares to mention that word again. If I were the president, I’d fix that in a hurry.

Say what you mean; mean what you say.

Dont be all bark- have some brains to back it up, and the muscle. Not just muscle because then you’re as good as a muscled- dog, who has mind-eating rabies, and walks into things… Point. Made.

The world can't be safe if half of the countries that are a threat to the world have them. This weapon should have never been developed. I don't like the fact that China, being a little friendly with Russia now, is looking to take over Taiwan. We will probably send men there to fight, it won't be good for anyone if Russia helps China... with the way they are after Ukraine, they would not hesitate to help China as well. This action in turn would trigger N Korea to send out its missiles that it has been firing off all year and now close to Japan. Iran having them as well does not help. It's not good knowing these countries have developed them and it has created a precarious, uneasy situation, in my opinion, should any war begin in any of these countries.

There is no reason why Russia would use nukes in their conflict with Ukraine. They've already won the war. Only brainwashed retards think Russia needs nukes for that conflict. The only thing that would help Ukraine at this point is military intervention by the USA. That won't happen without a false flag event. If a nuke is used in that conflict, it will be by Obama/The Clintons on the American people in an attempt to try to convince us that Russia did it. In reality, Ukraine knows they have lost and they are making desperate moves hoping to create a politic situation that allows for negotiation. Russia holds all the cards though...

The atomic bomb was real but the nukes they have always tried to scare us with are not. Before I was even born they had kids in school hiding under desks because of fake nukes that never got fired because they don't even exist. I am 45 now and all my life they been saying we are gonna get nuked. It never happens the story goes away then later a new one pops up. It is is 100% complete fear porn to keep the masses in fear 24-7 same as they do with the fake asteroids, fake covid fake climate change just a whole bunch of BS when if you would just ignore the mainstream news you will be living in a much different happier reality.

I wish nuclear weaons did not exist because it only takes one madman like Putin to end the world.

normalice · Answer

They are deeply immoral weapons, indiscriminately evaporating millions of men, women, children, pets, and so on in a blink and then setting tens of millions more on fire. They exist for no purpose other than to flex the collective sociopathy of an entire country, which is not a valuable attribute, just a dangerous one.

exitseven · Answer

They ended WW2 and saved thousands of American lives.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

It's a toy for the bigwigs.

Personally, I'd be gone before I notice it, if one goes off near enough.

Far enough - we have seen it in the tests mentioned - they will not directly affect me, other than economical consequences thereafter. But the silly oil-and-gas game presently does so as well.

Philosophically, I detest the idea of weapons of mass destruction - it reveals the absence of respect towards life.

dustybiker · Answer

US was testing in the Nevada desert up until 1996. The pot holes can be seen from outer space. The damage is accomplished whether at war or not.

SoftCliff · Answer

It is a weapon like biological warfare, you cannot deploy it without killing civilians and dire consequences that last deep into the future. Owning it means you are willing to wield a weapon that turns you into the worst type of human. Those that want to own it are as terrifying as the ones who want to use it. Lesser humans all together.

Personally I never got the phrase of "tactical nuclear weapons". Whenever a nuke is used, we're all fucked, regardless of the outcome.

TroyDT2 · Answer

They might gave some legitimate use, like maybe deflecting something that is on a collision course with the planet. Other than that, they have worked so far as a deterrent but the moment a low yield tactical device is used on the battlefield all bets will go out the window.

NathanDavis · Answer

best deterrent yet... to not start another world-around conflict

Other people: Nukes are scary. Me: Sings "I don't want to set the world on fire." by The Inkspots.  Gamers will understand.

t_time · Answer

I hate The fact that there's nuclear weapons out there. It's very scary and it honestly could be the end of our world

Juxtapose · Answer

I think there are even worse weapons out there that governments are not telling us about. Think of super viruses and whatnot.

ManHater · Answer

I want one... I would actually like to make like a play prop of a nuclear war head put it on a trailer and drive it into a city of course with no Nuclear symbol. If a get pulled over it's just a play prop made of cardboard.

EmmaMary · Answer

Personally I dread even thinking about them.

Anonymous · Answer

Meh. Nukes are the status quo. It doesn’t matter how we “feel” about them. They are a reality and will always be so.

LimitedBenefits101 · Answer

Its fascinating, hopefully Putin uses it and just end it all, sick of liberals.

Bethany22 · Answer
