Now that North Korea has gone nuclear, should America nuke first? as a preemptive strike?

Question

What would be the consequences of NK nuking any city outside its territory? Should the world let that happen?

Answer 1

keep things in perspective here kiddies what north Korea has done is wrong but to-date they have detonated 1 nuclear weapon under ground, the United States has detonated way more than that above ground below ground in space and are the only ones ever to use them in anger against another country, the French have been blowing the crap out of a little island in the pacific for years, and yet you all are crying for a preemptive stike against Korea. what are you thinking? dumb as a box of rocks, I'm not sure who scares me more the Koreans who may or may not fire a nuclear weapon or the United States who will fire if they feel threatened? economic sanctions will only add to the likely hood of a dispute if you threaten a persons lively hood they come out fighting thats why Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, learn from history

Answer 2

if it becomes evident that North Karea is intent on attacking someone, I don't know that even then, America should fire a nuke because once that happens it could force us and other nations into a world war like nothing we have had in the past. I don't know that you want open that pandora's box. Strike them with weapons of the sort we used on Iraq and Afganistan but no nukes. That just scares me.

Answer 3

If NK does something like that concerning weapons of Mass destruction they're going to see there lasts days in the international. I actually have a feeling that conflict VS NK would be drawing near quickly. I do see NK getting one or 2 nukes off in all possibility focused at SK yet we in no way understand. I only desire that if NK fires or drops one Nuke at every person that the united statesor another us of a Drops like 5-20 on NK. i understand there are stable human beings in NK yet stable human beings or not its a combat for survival as quickly as nukes come into play.

Answer 4

Here is the real problem. A nuclear explosion above ground will have devastating effects on the entire atmosphere. No matter where it is detonated.

After the first Gulf War scientists noticed radical atmospheric changes happening. They attributed much of it to the oil wells being set aflame and burning for weeks in Kuwait. These changes are unpredictable.

A nuclear blast could cause irreperable harm to OUR atmosphere. That's what I'm most afraid of. Not Iran Blowing up Isreal, or N. Korea blowing itself up...

Answer 5

Nuking any country for any reason, is about as dangerous as any one can get.

America is the last country that should be Nuking anyone. She has more enemies then people care to admit too.

It is not in America's intrest to Nuke N. Korea or anyone else for that matter.

Answer 6

No. This is where diplomacy comes in plus the UN.
We send one nuke to No Korea, and what about the nuclear fallout in China, South Korea, Japan??!!
Plus most of the planet's nations would dislike us greatly for our barbarism.

Answer 7

Have you ever seen footage on TV of the north korean army marching, it seems to me they are every bit as much a superpower as we are, dont get fooled by your american might, the north koreans have whole cities underground, and we have not the slightest idea where they are, so before you start your pre emptive strike, you might want to think very carefully

Answer 8

Why is it that the only Nation in human history to use 2 atom bombs on Japan should be the leader of telling other Nations if they can have them or not. Don't get me wrong, I don't think anyone should have them. Just seems a bit odd to me, that's all.

Answer 9

I think since we have the experience of nuclear weapons we should test it out for them on them? May be that will teach them a lesson not to play with the big guns but stick to their barbies!

Answer 10

A preemptive strike would do more harm than good.
