Will there be a nuclear attack by terrorists first or by USA on some sovereign nation?

Answer 1

*
There has already been two attacks by the USA in 1945. Past behaviour often dictates future behaviour.
Terrorists are highly unlikely to gain access to such weapons.

Answer 2

Given the compartive records, and the ill-matched lies, America wins that one, and the obvious fact that the 'long sought after WMD' are mostly, 98%, in America, odds are on the Americans making this first stupid move.

Backing this up, where further evidence is needed, they are Americans, they are armed to the teeth, they are stuoid, war mongering bastards, with morons for leaders.

Yes, no doubt, America first.

Seriously though,and consider this carefully. America bombed Japan as an act of "see what the fu*ck we have Ruskie", thus deterring the Russians from doing anything silly.

Russian and China are, yet again, hugely powerful, and apart from the military aspects, from a purely economical point of view, Russia, via gas and oil, and China, with mega amounts of money to spend, are gripping Europe and Africa by the short and curlies. Add a growing India into this equasion in 2 to 5 years.

In a friendly manner, naturally, and as they assist the economies of these many Nations, without involving them in war, they are seen as a far better optional friend and far less dangerous than America.

Slowly but surely, the power base of America is slipping away, as happens to all Empires, good or bad, and as a perfect example of this, the recent world-wide news about the American economy, via the house crash, had nothing but a soft ripple across Europe and Asia, where years ago it would have had a major impact.

The emergence of Iraq is there to counter America in the that region, and while Americ and Israel would love to bomb Iraq, the consequences across the world would be as akin to a fire to all things American and Isralie across the world.

Now this is the current situation, and America can sit back and take what is coming, a massive change in the order of things, or it can exercise the muscle again, nuke a Country and scare everyone.

But which Country. Iraq erhaps, or get Israel to do it. Either way, you light the fuse, and the major nations, China, Russia, India, seeing the scare tactic, can decide to be scared, thus losing al the ground they have made over the last 20 years, or stand to and retaliate.

This is the problem America cannot decide on, and while the mad men in the White House, and the are as dangerous to America as they are to Iraq, would love to bomb Russia and China, a dula first strike, while Israel knocks out Iraq, thus blowing away the opposition and easily scaring the remaining players into the American camp to wage a ground war against the remaining foes.

That would put Americ back in charge, and while 70 million people would be dead, may more, and with 20 million of those in America, these mad bastards think it is a worthwhile fifigure.

America, wake up, stop looking for fear in the Far East, its closer to hand in the White House. Elect a President who can make friends, join the new order on equal terms, trade, and then things will be as good as they are now.

A small number of oil men and arms dealers, the devils army, will be a few dollars short, but fu*ck them.

Answer 3

Depends on how much radioactive material they can get and the expertise and money they have.
It wouldnt be a full atomic bomb, more likely to be a dirty bomb. Its basically conventional explosives wrapped in radioactive materials. That could be anything from certain hospital waste to spent nuclear fuel. It would make a large area uninhabitable and cause a lot of deaths similar to the Litvinenko murder.
Its possible that the handful of former soviet weapons that have gone missing over the years have fallen into terrorist hands or will in the future.
No major worl power will intentionally lanch nuclear weapons in the foreseeable future. Thats not to say it can never happen though.
I would say its more likely to be terrorist if they have radioactive materials.

Answer 4

Considering that there have only ever been 2 nukes used(under extraordinary times) I can only hope there never will another but to answer your question, terrorists are more likely than the US to use a nuke because as much as some call for nuclear strikes, if the same kinds of restraint is given in the future as during the cold war years, then I cannot see the US using one first, no one wins in a nuclear war, no one...

Answer 5

Yes. It's just a matter of time. A dirty bomb in central London would make the place uninhabitable for about 100,000 years, so I am told.

What would be the reaction to such an attack?

The complete and total annihilation of the Muslim world by total Nuclear force.

End Game.

Answer 6

There will be an attack on the USA first because our defense against homeland security is faulty, and most are hired by bush, in which is a good sign that they are either a) not doing their job properly, or b) they are not even aware of threats against the USA.

Answer 7

It would be foolish for the USA to take the nuclear option off the table (but it would be foolish to choose that option too)
If there is a nuclear exchange involving USA and terrorists, it would be the terrorists using it.

Answer 8

I know the Yanks are stupid (as a nation I mean.....and I accept that there are many individuals who are perfectly normal, rational intelligent people) but not that stupid.

I think that terrorists will strike first if and/or when they get the capability. Lets just hope it never comes to that.

Answer 9

I don't think there will be a nuclear attack at all but if there is it's most likely to come from terrorists or some rogue state.

Answer 10

you are ridiculous, but i'll humor you i'm bored. 60 years on from the last use of the super weapons ,the US has not used them and wont, unless we are hit first. If we are. We should Give Israel 48hrs to evacute then lay nuclear waste to the entire middle east . Im tired of playing with these people trying to figure out whos friend and whos foe. Send in the B-52's Turn it all to glass. then hit Pakistan and Afganistan in the areas where these animals hide.

Answer 11

Everyone knows that the end of the world as predicted by the ancient mayans is in december 2012.

That is when the super volcano will erupt and dick cheney, hugo chavez, kim jung il, ahmadinejad, bin laden and musharraf will all be sucking down volcanic ash.
