Nuclear Disarmament

Eliminate nuclear weapons.......yes or no?
AndrewC1993 · 31-35, M
Yes, I believe Nuclear energy can be harnessed and can be sustained it has potential if we just deweaponise. Nuclear weapons should be a thing of the past. Cold War. Until then we'll curb our Carbon emissions and what we need to do to prevent to reverse the effects or soften the effects of Global Warming. We just need to get the whole world to agree and for that we do need the UN.

@Atlantis but you said you were going to eat my ass alive and weren't worried about diseases then. And I don't want to sleep with your beautiful self......I just see you're a troubled soul and need some validation. I'm here for you 👍

@Atlantis awesome
nedkelly · 61-69, M
NO - How can you trust Russia China and North Korea they will never be used at all
Dlrannie · 31-35, F
@nedkelly You have a point Ned however to date only one country has actually used them and one can't assume they won't use them again

@Soossie tone is hard to imply via text (hence all.the serious answers to sarcastic responses).
Ignore me, my ego was bristling because I thought your comment was barbed. My apologies
No worries.... this is internet... and anyone entering a serious conversation like this, should expect opinions that differ from theirs and should expect opinions being expressed in all sort of ways... @gol979
No....just only to be used for protection purposes. Not for just shooting off any old time.

@Soossie I was supporting her and her opinion if did not like her opinion accept it and move along to the next question without attacking her
Dlrannie · 31-35, F
Unfortunately the US let the genie out of the bottle and sadly that cannot be undone

@Overwatch6 I read the meme and it states that Marxist indoctrination works in relation to 20 million deaths. I'll ask again, because you seem to be dodging every question......what has Marxism got to do totalitarianism?
gol979 · 41-45, M
@Overwatch6 how come you deleted your responses? Are you now rethinking what you believe? Even if you don't and that's 100% your prerogative it's good to have a different slant on history and politics, don't you think?
goliathtree · 56-60, M
If you could unilaterally eliminate them yes, however there are enough bad actors out there that the only deterrent is fear and sometimes even fear is not enough. Unfortunately, this is a Utopian question, not a realistic one, but my answer would be yes.
Of course... eliminate all....
gol979 · 41-45, M
@YukikoAmagi or just unload them all on the Marshall islands.......oh nope, that has already been tested
@SW-User sometimes i talk like no brainer 😅
I can only smile at that humor ..... @YukikoAmagi
No ... It would make the US more powerful than it is today.

And cause a race to make regular weapons, stunting all world economic activity.

Wars would break out all over.

Right now, the US is the only nation with anti-nuclear weapon assets. Leaving the battlefield completely asymmetric
"Pandora's Box" was opened when the "Atomic Bomb" was created and was dropped on the cities of Hiroshima & Nagasaki Japan to END WW2, an American estimate was that 60,000 to 70,000 people were killed or missing, 140,000 were injured and it was also used as a warning to other countries not to attack the United States, other countries have since then created Nuclear weapons for the same reason, however, some countries today use them as a threat that if we don't get what we want, resources, we will attack you, and more countries developed them to protect themselves from the Countries that use them as a threat. "Nuclear weapons don't kill people, Leaders do."
ButterRobot · 51-55, M
Yes. Too easy for accidents to occur. With catastrophic consequences.
I think they will need them for world war 3 🙄
tenente · 100+, M
@YukikoAmagi i thought they were going to reboot the franchise 🤔
@tenente maybe coming soon 😂
Katy03 · 18-21, F
No, assured mutual destruction is the best deterrent going. And ultimately, the crazy countries of the Middle East can be kept in check with the threat of a nuke being dropped on them.
gol979 · 41-45, M
@Katy03 why Iran? Because that's what you're told? Are you aware of the recent history of Iran?
Katy03 · 18-21, F
@gol979 Yes, actually I am. And that's not from the MSM. Which is why they are more dangerous than North Korea! None of which is helped by Israel constantly stirring the pot either...
gol979 · 41-45, M
@Katy03 so you know about BP, Mossaddegh, the Shah and the American part in this?
SW-User
NO. 2nd Amendment. I’m keeping my nukes.
SW-User
@Soossie Lol I'm just being sarcastic here.
They were all inbred British rejects. They counted to 17 on their fingers.
I'm sure they did.... @SW-User
donut · 26-30, M
No, use them all. so all human species will disappear. Earth will happy again. No war, no pollution, no noise, trees and green everywhere, no animal killing. No bad things
donut · 26-30, M
@Ishtar after 482 years. everything will be fine. earth will change self and life will start again from water, humans will come again and again it happen XD
Fernie · F
@donut why do you have a laughing face at the end of your statement...are you insane or something? I agree that this planet would be better off without humans...selfish, destructive parasites ..we do no good at all but,....your way is not the way
donut · 26-30, M
@Fernie I'm a alien XD
Dlrannie · 31-35, F
Yes they should be eliminated but being realistic that will never happen as I can't see US or Russia reducing their massive arsenals of them
gol979 · 41-45, M
@Dlrannie there's only 10,000 of these pinpoint bombs of peace......where's the optimism? 😉
Dlrannie · 31-35, F
@gol979 Actually estimates put it at more than 15,000 nuclear war heads - which ever figure you take its more than enough to destroy the world many times over.
SW-User
SW-User
Eliminate from everywhere, then yes. If any country has them, they lose the rights to stop others from having them or speak against it.
gol979 · 41-45, M
@SW-User yeah, total elimination
SW-User
@gol979 Then yes, if it's gone from everywhere, there's no threat from it. Doesn't matter what political nutjobs say.
Bushranger · 70-79, M
The problem is, they can't be invented. As much as I'd like to see them eliminated, there would be nothing stopping a rogue nation building bombs.
Deadcutie · 18-21, F
It would be a nice start in the right direction.. besides, with biological weapons, nuclear seams outdated
Maggimay · 46-50, F
No.
World is over populated by fools. It needs saving too. Humans are a virus on this planet.
Yes. When Pandora's box was opened all that was left was hope.

@tenente And there's the problem in a nutshell.
MethDozer · M
No.

It's a great idea in theory, but impossible and short sighted in practice. It would never happen and even if it did then you're just waiting for he next person or nation to make a one and when they do have no reason not to use it.

It's one of those sad truths that they are here and aren't going anywhere.
gol979 · 41-45, M
@MethDozer so take nuclear weapons away and we will end up with heavy worldwide authoritarian regiemes? To be honest, we are going that way even with the A bombs. Or we have the potential.

I don't agree with your assertions. You are basing human nature at its most barbaric. There's is a different way to be. Anthropology evidences this......we aren't self serving beasts, that is just another bullshit narrative.

And I meant Orwellian like......war is peace etc
MethDozer · M
@gol979 The only time nuclear weapons have been used is when one nation had them.

I'm basing human nature on the nature of life. All life, All lving things seek advantage. as history and anthropology has repeatedly demonstrated.

You are also spin doctoring my words. I never said it would result in an worldwide authoritarian regime. I said for them to not exist anywhere would take one. You can never put technology or weapons back in the box. You would have to erase all knowledge of them.

We are self-serving. As is all.
Platoscave · F
@MethDozer If you look at history the way Chomsky has done you will see how many narrow escapes prevented a nuke from going up SO FAR.
