No. It's more or less a bargaining chip.

Yes i do. For some reason the nations that do not have nuclear weapons seems to think that possessing them will make them more powerful and threatening than they really are. With the thousands of nuclear weapons(bombs, missiles, artillery shells)
and others that the U.S and Russia have it is still a wonder that we did not use them against each other. Someone, India, Pakistan, N.Korea or Iran will decide that they will use them against their enemies. If you will study history you will see that Japan suffered enormous losses because of the nuclear bombs were dropped on them during world war 2. Take a close look at the photos or movies from that time. In the long run using nuclear weapons does not really solve the problem.

By the US NO!
By a pin head little nation? maybe; their tech su(ks
For the US Nukes are antiques.We can blow away entire nations, without Nuclear weapons, we have MOABs. 22,000lb conventional smart bombs with nuke blast power but NO radiation.
M…..Mother
O…..of
A…..all
B…..bombs
WE have Tomahawks with fuel-air explosive war heads. The big Tomahawks can carry 10 war heads. They can burn entire cities with fuel-air explosive.
First the MOAB, when the shock wave clears, in comes the Tomahawk. The entire city is flattened and then burned with fuel-air explosive. The fuel-air explosive burns everything left and it burns off all the oxygen. There is no way to survive!
With our satellites we can target every Arab city in any terrorist nation, or any other small nation,and then lock them all into a firing solution. Then at 3am any morning the order was given, every Arab city targeted could be blown clean off the face of the Earth, all at the same time.

I'd say we're only 7 minutes from midnite, which is not very long. In other words, we're closer to using it than not. Tensions in the world have been worse, and accidental launching of nuclear weapons have always happened, but as of today, we're only "7 minutes to midnite."

Yes. Maybe for war. Maybe to terraform Mars. Let's hope the later.
