When do you think nuclear war will explode, within 2,5,10 years?

Question

Many opinions say, it is not a matter whether, but when.

Answer 1

Nuclear war is happening now - daily, in Iraq.
The radiation from depleted uranium in recent wars is said to exceed taht of 600,000 Nagasaki bombs.

Answer 2

In My opinion there will be just one Major Nuclear war. I don't know if you believe in bible prophecy or not but I do. Here is what I see will happen. The "Rapture of the church" must happen first only to be followed by the "Tribulation" period which lasts 7 years. The early part of the Trib appears as if there will be world peace as promised by the new world leader(anti Christ). However this does not last and all chaos results. The Jew's at this point discover Christ was the true Messiah and then we have 144000 who go out to evangelize the world, many many are saved at this time. This will also be a time of judgement on the earth and millions will die as a result.It is at this time the nations of the world will line up against Israel with the use of nuclear arms but before she is annihilated Christ will then return to earth. Christ will then set up His reign on earth for 1000 years and display to man how there can be world peace while under His rule.These events are all prophesied in the bible and the reason one can believe in them is the many many other prophesies in the bible have all come true as forecast. It is not a hit and miss thing it is 100% no other religion can make such claims. As far as saying when the next nuclear war will be one cannot say when for certain but this is how I see it.

Answer 3

I don't think you'll see nuclear "war' within the next ten years. Only a small handful of countries have enough nukes to be involved in a war. There may be one that goes off from a terrorist or from a rogue state like n. korea or iran, but they don't have enough to start a nuclear ear. If you're looking for a nuclear war your best bet is india/pakistan, but I doubt it will happen. Both are smart enough to know if they nuke the other the fallout will fall all over their own country.

Answer 4

I grew up in the 1960s, when this question was very much on people's minds--the Cold War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, etc.

In grade school, they'd have these drills where the air-raid siren would go off, and all the kids would have to sit under their desks with their hands over their heads. Even at age 7 or 8, I knew enough to know that *that* wouldn't help in the event of a nuclear attack. All it did was scare the bejeebers out of us.

Still, here we are, 40-odd years (some of them odder than others ) later, and the world hasn't yet come to an end--thanks at least in part to the efforts of many people all over the world who have worked hard for nuclear disarmament and other peace processes.

Does that mean it won't *ever* happen? I can't know that. Frankly, though, I suspect I'm more likely to get hit by a bus than by a bomb. (I'm blessed to live in Canada, where we're mostly not getting shot at or having rockets land on our heads.)

And whatever way I'm meant to go--and whenever that happens--it probably isn't in my control.

Meanwhile, I try to live my life as much as possible in the present moment--to do as Marge Piercy recommends in one of my favourite poems, "If they come in the night," excerpted below:

====================
...I said, I like my life. If I
have to give it back, if they
take it from me, let me only
not feel I wasted any, let me
not feel I forgot to love anyone
I meant to love, that I forgot
to give what I held in my hands,
that I forgot to do some little
piece of the work that wanted
to come through...
====================
--Marge Piercy, "If they come in the night," from "Circles on the Water" (1982)
====================

Tom Stoyan, one of Canada's top motivational speakers, once addressed a group I was part of. He put us through that familiar exercise of closing our eyes and imagining what we'd do differently with our lives if we found out that we had only six months to live. Then he had us open our eyes and he asked us one final question: "How do you know you have *that* long?" I've never forgotten that powerful piece of wisdom.

Answer 5

If I could predict that I'd be the next Henry Kissinger! I predict it will never happen. That Hiroshima and Nagasaki will go down in history as the first and last time nuclear weapons were ever used in war.

Answer 6

i doubt it'll happen within 10 years. that is, unless terrorists from the middle east are able to get their hands on nuclear weapons. i think that most countries now are smart enough to realize that any nuclear action would cause a swift reactionary nuclear attack and that no political power would be gained, only meaningless, horrific death would occur.

Answer 7

Ten or twelve years ago, I'd have answered NEVER to a question like this. Today, I'm not so sure it won't be tomorrow.

Answer 8

as soon as the middle east gets their hands on them we are all ******. I think we should just nuke the middle east now and say bye!!!1

Answer 9

It won't happen.
