Are we on the brink of nuclear war?

Answer 1

If we continue to let the conservatives have their way, I believe it could be inevitable.

Answer 2

No
At the commencement of the Korean war, Dulles wanted to use nuclear warheads. This was vetoed by the USs allies, as the Soviet Union had just completed nuclear testing. (the source of this information is UK government documents declassified under the 40 year ruling, several years ago). Since then no side has used nuclear warheads, even though this fact clearly shows that the USs claim that nuclear warheads are a deterrent and weapon of last choice is bollo*cks, they actually saw it as a starting point in war. As a result the US simply bombed North Korea flat, destroying anything and everything; housing, hospitals, schools.
The more countries that have nuclear missiles, does not mean more nuclear wars, it just means more reasons to stop the US using their warheads, and stops countries like Israel who have developed warheads with the aid of western governments, from using theirs.
N Korea has no desire to start any new wars, it has its own domestic problems to sort out. Perhaps the US will now remove its nuclear warheads from S Korea.
To this day, only America has ever used nuclear warheads against an enemy, China, Russia, the UK and France have never wanted to use them, and nor does N Korea. If America gave aid to the N Koreans, who love their leader more than the US loves theirs, they would see America as a benevolent country and would not wish to attack them. People outside America don't attack their friends.

Answer 3

breaking point of nuclear warfare? No, that's basically stupid nonsense. a lot uncertainty? in hardship-free words the ignorant are uncertain. practise treatments lack of understanding. The United international locations has 100 ninety+ member international places it may call on for protection stress suggestion. no one's starting up a nuclear warfare hostile to those odds. The North Atlantic Treaty corporation is the most efficient protection stress alliance in human historic previous. NATO's 28 member international places comprise the richest, maximum technologically-more desirable & maximum militarily more desirable Western international locations. no one's starting up a nuclear warfare hostile to those odds, both. extremely because the NATO powers have maximum people of the international's nukes. North Korea's no longer going to do some thing to absolutely everyone. The Korean warfare of the Fifties develop into North Korea attempting to triumph over South Korea. The UN intervened, kicked North Korea's @ss, and liberated South Korea. in hardship-free words that warfare by no skill ended with a peace treaty. rather, it halted with a ceasefire settlement. If the NK's spoil the ceasefire, they are going to be authentic back at warfare with the UN. And the NK's have 0 favor to end dropping the Korean warfare. China's no longer about to do a rattling aspect both. no longer even as the U. S. and China are so economically depending on one yet another that any disruption in commerce (i.e.: a warfare) might want to crumple both their economies. What the hell is faulty with people those days sh*tting its pants nonstop wondering each and every thing's going to reason WW3 and/or Nuclear warfare? people elect to pipe the hell down and smarten the hell up.

Answer 4

Nuclear war.... that's grandfather's day moan. Today we have the capability of zapping everything in sight. Our soldiers are using satelite help to blast enemy positions.

No, we are not on the brink of war. What we see is sabre rattling in the best fashion. we frighten the minnows on the other side of the world, but we forget the backdoor. Sounds familiar to WW2 buffs.

And the minnows are beating hell out of the best technology the USA has.

I'd be happy waking up and seeing the morning, without worrying about what the big shots are yelling about.

I just picture the link below. Maybe the politicians should reapply it

Answer 5

probably... the problem is that people think we have evolved so much that nuclear war or world war is just SF. look at the equation: OPEC countries want to use the euro as the currency in witch they're paid for for oil (US economy survives because the dollar is the worlds reserve currency). Iraq is on the brink of civil war, Iran wants nuclear weapons, relatively big Muslim populations in europe and the US. if the US attacks iran (iran just signed a contract with china to sell them more oil for their energy hungry people) disrupting the oil flow to china, this would bring the later and the US in direct confrontation (china, russia, OPEC countries have a pact that they would start buying and selling oil in euros if anyone of them is attacked by the US < china and russia have a pact that if anyone of them would go to war with the US, the other one will have to unconditionally support them)
