Do you believe that a country would be foolish enough to use nuclear weapons?

Answer 1

No. If they have any sense they will not. We have over 2200 nukes and we could blow up the whole Earth ten times over. The effects of one nuke will last 100 years.

Answer 2

Yep, Pakistan against India. Pakistan agains US forces in Afghanistan if the current government falls into the hands of Islamic extremist.

"Pakistan's Nuclear Doctrine would therefore essentially revolve around the first-strike option. In other words, The Pakistani government will use nuclear weapons if attacked by India even if the attack is with conventional weapons."

"The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) estimates that Pakistan has built 24-48 HEU-based nuclear warheads. Which is enough for almost 30-55 nuclear weapons. Pakistan's nuclear warheads are based on an implosion design that uses a solid core of highly enriched uranium and requires an estimated 15-20 kg of material per warhead. "

Answer 3

We already have...but, like stated above, the weapons were much smaller and the times were much different. Today, it would be suicide, basically. The country that fires first will most likely regret it.

Answer 4

When you are talking about countries like North Korea and Iran, yes I believe that they would be crazy enough.

Answer 5

Yes... there are a lot of unstable countries with nuclear stockpiles.

Answer 6

we did in 1945 but it wasnt foolish. We had to then and they were very small by todays standards.

I think today the response would be very different. Millions would die in seconds...

Answer 7

Who knows! There could be a crazy ruler out there somewhere that wants America destroyed.

Answer 8

yes......all that is needed is a feeble excuse and a head of the state who hasn't got any brains.......oh ..wait........US has both...and experience...they've already used it once.

Answer 9

Answer 10
