Does the USA still have nuclear weapons?

Question

And if they do, is it not hypocritical for the usa to tell IRAN not to have them? I mean if I was IRAN, I would use the whole thing to 'throw it off'/'play it off'and work on "secret plans" ~ for the best nuclear power systems.... now ideally we would ALL as a world work together on something like this due to the potential dangers involved... I mean would it not be safer if all the brightest minds from all over could come together and "lay their cards on the table" so to speak. ~"nuclear", even the safest types may have drawbacks which may in the long run "undermine" the position. But in a short run man may choose to try something nuclear, sort of like with ethanol...to sort of "get a leg up" ...now man has to be very careful and understand the TRADE-OFF he he considering. SOLAR power, along with WIND are obviously major keys.. and I would like to see minds focussing in that neck of the woods, so to speak. There are other sources of "power/energy" that man may think of in the future

I think there will be something to do with "anti-gravity". Who knows what wonders man's mind will think of.... just remember "spidey" ~ "with great power, comes great responsibility

IF you were a REAL VETERAN , would you support the USA raping NK?(neil kenes)
I hope you would not... the point I am making is what are all these soliders dying for? So A boy like me can get RAPED out by old "uncle sam"...and they just want to play out "under rug swept."

Who can we trust today if we can't trust good old usa?

We have all heard that BOB DYLAN song about "putting guns in ground" ~ that is the ideation I mean we have what we have, as a world we should come together and have "stckpiles" perhaps just incase we are attacked from beyond, no use destroying things that we could have as a "just in case" as a world...you know? HOPE IN WORLD PEACE.....hope in good tasting vegan DANISHES for all who choose to take a bite.... higher tastes

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

Yes, the U.S. believes it should be the only country on the planet to be trusted with nuclear arsenals. It's hypocritical, two-faced, and redundant. Oh, everyone says, the U.S. can be trusted not to use them, but Iran's crazy dictators will! That's so much b.s.
What makes people think George W. Bush - or some future lunatic we elect as a war-mongering President - isn't crazy enough to use nuclear weapons of mass destruction?
The U.S. is the ONLY country that has killed innocent people in another country with weapons of mass destruction. What makes people think we won't do it again if the circumstances are right, or if some madman becomes President of the U.S.A.?
Politicians are all wackos, anyway, regardless of which nation they rule. And they're also human beings (or sub-humans) who have emotions and sometimes personal agendas (we illegally invaded Iraq because George Bush has a personal vendetta against Saddam Hussein, and because Cheney covets all that OIL swimming underneath Iraq's sands).
There's a serious trust issue here. Other nations don't trust the U.S.A. and its warrior bullying tactics, so they want their own nuclear weapons as a defense against the world's newest "evil empire" - the United States of America.
So, if America is so gung-ho on spreading peace through out the world, why doesn't it take the first step and destroy its own nuclear weapons inventory? Why doesn't it agree to share the Earth's resources more equitably (right now, we're only 5% of the world population, but we squander 55% of the world's natural resources). Why doesn't it propose a world-wide ban on nuclear weapons? Why doesn't it dismantle its huge (and hugely profitable) military-industrial complex?
Why does the U.S.A. always have a fight to pick with someone on this planet? After World War II (a legitimate war that we needed to win) there was the Korean Conflict, the 'Cold War', the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War, and Desert Storm. Why? Because WAR is what keeps companies like Boeing, Halliburton, and McDonnell-Douglas profitable!
It's nonsense to assume that the U.S. won't attack other nations as we continue our dependency on OIL. If the U.S.A. really wanted to spread democracy, why isn't it invading all the other dictatorships ruled by evil despots? Because they have no easily-accessible OIL.
By spring, 2007, Bush will have invaded Iran for the very same reason he invaded Iraq: OIL. Pure and simple. -RKO-

Answer 3

Yes the US still has Nukes - I actually worked at a nuclear base when I first came into the military. It is not just the US that is saying Iran shouldnt have them its all the countries in the UN. It basically comes down to the trust factor. The US has been placed in a position to where other countries know that we would be responsible with them. Do you really think they have any reason to trust countries such as Iran and N Korea...

Answer 4

yes we do have nukes. submarines and some planes as well as land based missile launch pads. A nuclear class submarine can run for 30 years w/o being refueled. an aircraft carrier can go 50 years. That is without one nuclear mishap. that is what i call fuel efficient! As for your remark about us being hypocritical for having nukes, we have never threatened to take Isreal off the face of the map! Our nukes are a deterrence. We won't attack a peace loving nation just because we disagree with them. Now we will attack a dictatorship with conventional weapons, which is the right thing to do. would you want to live under a tyrant where you had no say in the government? In USA you have the right to argue. Iran does not have this right. they have openly defied the right thing to do for their own people. N. korea spends just about everything they have on military spending while their people are destitute. They can't leave or they will get shot. America is not anything like that. Please don't insult every veteran by insinuating that we are like our enemies! Thanks for your question commie!

Answer 5

Let me get this straight... You advocate sitting down and TRUSTING the Iranians regarding the development of nuclear weapons. In effect giving them our secrets because they sure as hell don't have any we need. Also there are still some of us old guys (and 52 really isn't old) who remember when the Iranian student (terrorists) illegally entered and took control of the US Embassy in Iran....which under international law was USA sovereign territory. I was serving as an Army officer at that time and every man I served with where willing and waiting for the command to load up and rescues our people even if it meant turning Iran into a parking lot. And these "student" with their Islamic radical leaders claiming they couldn't interfere held US citizens for 444 days. And 8 brave American service members died at Desert 1 attempting to free them when President Carter failed to take command of the situation.

Sit down with the Iranians, especially when their new president was one of the "students" who held Americans hostage? Are you insane?And that is a rhetorical question. Iran wants only one thing the ability to produce nuclear weapons and not power, and to wipe Israel of the face of the planet...his word, not mine.

Join the real world. Maybe someday we will be able to do it your way.

Answer 6

the united states, Russia, and China could paintings in direction of lowering their arsenals of nuclear weapons to as near to 0 as attainable. those 3 international locations (alongside with Europe and Japan) could paintings diligently to inspire a nuclear loose zone contained in the midsection-East and in East Asia (Israel, India, Pakistan). to try this, might require significant efforts on the area of the financial and protection stress powers of the international to ascertain that a good and enduring peace became wide-unfold contained in the midsection-East between the Israelis and their Arab associates. the comparable could be mandatory for India and Pakistan. vast efforts could be required to remedy border disputes, water & mineral rights, etc. additionally in all probability could be vast econmic help to those international locations. this could be a an prolonged time-long technique to construct good will and make a potential peace take place. Britain, and France could be inspired (as area of this international attempt) to get rid of their nuclear weapons thoroughly. Europe is an stunning occasion of economic strengthen, stability and peace. that they had (contained in the previous) long fought one yet another. WW2 on my own killed 2 hundred million human beings. that's attainable.

Answer 7

The US (and Russia, China, UK, and France) aren't crazy enough to actually use the nuclear weapons they own. Iran is.

Think of it this way:

An adult tells a kid he can't have a gun. It's not hypocritical if the adult has a gun, because the adult wouldn't use it unless he abolutely has to. The kid might use it to kill some other kid they don't like on the playground.
