U.S. is constantly disarming other countries nuclear arsenals. Why does the U.S. have a huge nuclear arsenal?

Question

The U.S. invaded Iraq and destroyed Baghdad because they had nuclear weapons. (Nobody has proven it yet). However a B52 just overflew 7 states with 3 nuclear boms inside. How is it that the rest of the world cannot have nuclear weapons but the U.S. is fully armed?

And you didn't answer the question...

I agree on worlwide nuclear dissarming, but why does the U.S. have a whole arsenal. Are they the only ones that know how to use them properly... C'mon nobody should have nukes...period.

Answer 1

Well your talking about a weapon that has the ability to wipe out an entire city in an instant.

I wonder why the US would do almost anything in its power to prevent the proliferation of such weapons???

Would you trust a complete stranger in your house with a loaded gun?

World wide nuclear dissarmament would be nice, but I dose not look like it will happen in the near future. Though the amount of nukes has gone down.

Answer 2

To protect ourselves from the other countries with nuclear arsenals. Are you crying out for the disarmament of Russia, India, Pakistan, etc.? If you can't understand the difference between America having nuclear weapons and, say, a country like Iran, then I can't help you.

Answer 3

Most of the countries that have been asked to disarm are because their governments are unstable.
I saw the news blurb too re the flight, but I do not no if the bombs where armed, the media loves this stuff and plays it up.

Answer 4

The US will have nukes until someone comes and takes them. We invented them, paid for them.

Answer 5

Answer 6

You need do more research to get your history straight.

Answer 7
