I suggest that the most powerful weapon of mass destruction is DEBT.
During the "cold war", we had MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction). Now, we dont have the American-Soviet threat anymore, but we still have MAD: Mutual Assured DEBT.
Global debt. Personal debt. International debt. Corporate debt. Government debt. Insolvency. Deficits. Global inter-related and inter-dependent debt.
National power is measured by which country has the most debt, and the strongest military. If any one country goes bankrupt, it brings down everybody else: MUTUAL ASSURED DEBT (MAD).
Am I right? Or wrong?

wow, when i chose this Q, i was about to write sth like hydro bombs or sth, but this is deeper...
well...maybe yes...or no...
see remember that debts actually make so many essential things much more possible, but it gets destructive when mis-used (used to get unessential things, like that extra car, or getting to buy things with ur debt card instead of cash), this is actaully SAD (Self Assured Debt)...
same with international debts, many ppl would die of hunger if governments didn't borrow some monay to get food (essentials)...
although sometimes, some sides make it so appealing to get involved in these matters (it's like almost "forcing" them to)...
so again, maybe yes...maybe no...really depends on the case
i really hope i made some sense here (i'm not gonna read it again!)

The human mind is the most destructive weapon of all. With the human mind, all things are possible, even the concepts of what we consider good and bad can be morphed within the human mind, so that what one considers good another can consider bad, and vice versa.
The human mind also came up with all the politics and positions and the tragedy and the triumph of everything from sports to financial sectors as well.
The human mind came up with the crime and the law, two sides of the same coin.
The human mind came up with atom bombs and the concept of peace as well.
Without it, the world would just be one big fight of the survival of the fittest. With it, even the weak can survive and thrive.

any a form of: a) The thermonuclear bomb (nuclear fusion bomb), extra specifically a Teller-Ulam gadget can easily yield ten megatons of TNT explosive ability. in many circumstances referred to as a Hydrogen Bomb. except i'm flawed that's the form of bomb that would do the main actual harm in one bypass. b) Any new/changed virus strand that would emulate Ebola Hemorrhagic fever and be transmitted airborne from human to human would reason lots extra biologically emitted harm than anybody unmarried nuclear explosion. c) The concepts.

the most powerful wmd is a anti-matter device. on the discovery channel, a doc was on about atomic and nuclear bombs created thruout the years, and the show told about how they r designing a weapon that will instantly obliterate all matter .

The human mind. Ironically, it's also the most powerful tool (used for good)

Human arrogance and ignorance are the greatest weapons of mass destruction.
the thigns we use to destroy ourselves are only tools until man puts his mind ot it to use them to kill.
(ex: nuke power plant can be used to make WMD nukes)

TBH I think the biggest weapon of mass destruction is US. I mean humans are constantly using up natural resources, cutting down trees and not replanting them. polluting our air and waters, etc. We are slowly killing ourselves and our planet.
