Nuclear Weapons

Think of the environment...

Something tells me that global warming was sped up by nukes.

Good as a deterant, bad in that they'll probably doom us all to being nuclear zombies somehow

Only when they're being used against Japan.
(which, BTW, is the only time they were ever used offensively )

Hmm... while I certianly think nukes are awesome in the hands of the U.S. I'm disinclined to think they're quite so amazing if they're in Russian hands.

However, nukes did save a whole lot of American lives back in WWII, so I'm gonna go with they're awesome.

son of a bit.... *nuke blows up behined me* OMGWTFBBQubed

I love Russia... maybe not on policy, but they have the best folklore in the world.

Nuclear weapons saved more lives than any other weapon in existence. If MAD wasn't around, we would have gone to war with Russia long ago.

Now that they have been invented, and everyone and his dog's mother knows how they work, nuclear deterrence is vital to national security, so nukes are here to stay.

But I must admit, nothing quite gets me going like nuclear fire. Remember that one scene in Terminator 2: Judgment Day? I get that movie out every once in a while and watch it, mostly for that one scene.

Nukes... f...t...w..

And I couldn't resist: Clicky!

Right now, they spell disaster for the world and could easily be the end of it. However... if they could do something like the missile shield in Endwar or find some way to negate their damage, they would be nothing more than a big bomb. Much less useful that way.

I hated the stupid WMD on Endwar... I would purposely loose the start of matches just so I didn't have to use it.

We'll need nukes when we fight the aliens.

Until then, we have no use for them. In a world of conflict, they pose as nothing more than an imminent threat to us all.

What happens when all have acquired nukes? We'd like to stop it, but unless there's some sort of UN agreement to stop making Nukes and keep others from ever doing so, it's only a matter of time.

What purpose then will nuclear weapons posses? Mutually assured destruction keeps the sane at peace, but does little to hinder the religious zealots.

No, nuclear weapons are ultimately a bad thing.

put them to use, and strap them to some space ships.

Okay Recon, but what about the non-religious Atheist Zealots?
Like the Chinese.

Project Orion ey? Send them to the aliens before the aliens find us... brilliant!!
