g-day!

Answer 2

Let's see may be because we never signed a formal peace treaty with North Korea but a cease fire at the end of that blood bath that we call the Korean War diplomatically a cease fire is not as good as a peace treaty, then we have to consider all the trouble they had to get those nukes, I mean letting die half the country by starvation so they can afford the cost of developing them I'm sure that they will use them if they think they have to also if you are short of cash and You are a totalitarian country where no one from the outside really knows what is going on you can sell information on how to make them or sell parts material o whole nukes to the right customer say Al- qaida, Iran Syria, Hamas, Hugo Chavez. also they have a leader as crazy as ours so bad things are coming one day there will be a mushroom cloud over a major city in USA and then America will lost it and by the time we regain our selves the world would be a very different place, look at Pearl Harbor the japs bombed America got mad and four years later Italy Japan Germany and the other axis where gone. and we don't turn on the soviets because it will have look bad after all the propaganda if thing got out of hand the end will be Empire America.

Answer 3

Only the United States has ever 'used' nuclear weapons, the two bombs that were dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima to end World War II. The results were so horrific that no one has used one since.

The first two were far smaller than those that were developed during the Cold War. The larger ones, Hydrogen Bombs, have the potential to destroy life on the planet.

In defense of President Truman, who made the decision to use them:

(1) We only had two bombs, each of a different design, and there was some doubt whether the 'implosion device' used in one of them would work (it did). That is why they were not dropped on, say, an uninhabited island as a demonstration.

(2) The decision certainly saved American lives. It probably saved Japanese lives as well, because the Japanese showed no previous signs of surrendering. I think an invasion of the Japanese mainland would have killed as many civilians as did the bombs.

(3) Did you know that the Russians, busy with the Germans, were NOT at war with Japan? The bombs persuaded the Russians to declare war shortly before the war was over, another factor influencing the Japanese decision to surrender.

Answer 4

Kekionga is correct.
They did test a missile - delivery system - a couple of times over the Sea of Japan - but they didn't work right (go figure).
It remains that the U.S. is the only nation to have used atomic weaponry.
Many countries currently have a nuclear arsenal, but, it appears, that all concerned know that if they used theirs, we'd all be dust. (I prefer to be hit on the head with one in the "first strike.")
Iran is next - and they will soon have the means to use them.
I DO NOT put it past THEM to use them. Hopefully, the Iranian people will put an end to this blasphemous misinterpretation of their great religion.

Answer 5

The u.s. is the only country to actually use nuclear weapons.

Answer 6

Only the U.S> and Russia had nukes back then. Anyone knows that, at least I thought they did.

Answer 7

None could used ATOM BOMB and have right to use ATOM BOMB except USA.

USA the first sole PROPIETER user of atom bomb ( USA used against JAPAN).

If all start making ATOM BOMB, which is propitery of USA; THEN USA can not control the WORLD. It is natural that the SOLE PROPIETER HAS THE RIGHT OVER ATOM TECHNOLOGY.


However USA, the propieter, is kind enough to grand permission to other nations for PEACEFUL use.

All can use it for PEACE (except propieter user- USA).

Like POOR india is making deal with USA for peaceful use by POOR Indian.

Why?

INDIA GO NUCLEAR - Why, How, When What ?

TO MEET ENERGY NEED AFTER 60 YEARS India shall go nuclear and sign treaty like 123 / NPT.

Is nuclear deal of India with US is really worth? It worth down the line of 50 - 60 years.

[A}.-Why worth ?

1) Fossile fuel is limited in INDIA and world.,
2) Nuclear fuel is also limited in INDIA AS WELL AS in world but can give enrgy for some years.

[B]. - Con of Nuclear?

Cost of coal based power is Rs 1.50 / KWHcompared to Rs 3.00 /KWH for nuclear.

Like petroleum, Foreign currancy will goout for
1). TECHNOLOGY,
2). FUEL,
3). INSPECTION,
4). EQUIPMENT, ETC
5) dependent on other
6) Possible stopage of fuel on later date (like USA stopped for TARAPUR UNITS, canadian STOPPED FOR RAWTBHATA UNITS)


[C]. - Options for INDIA ?

OPTIONS with little or no foreign currancy OUTGO:

1) WIND mill with limitless energy
2) HYDRAL with limitless life span,
3) SOLAR with limitless life,
4) Municipal waste with limitless life,
5) Agriculture waste WITH LIMITLESS LIFE
6) COAL
7) GAS

OPTION WITH FOREIGN CURRANCY OUTGO:
1) NUCLEAR
2) PETROLEUM

[D] Why 50 - 60 years?

Now INDIA MAY SURVIVE with coal and gas, but after 60 years WIND, SOLAR, HYDRAL, WASTE cannot give sufficient energy for the INDUSTRY.

[E].- What is the option ?

INDIA SHALL USE NUCLEAR OPTION FOR ENERGY GENERATION

[F] What is about foreign currency, dependence?

1). SINCE 50 - 60 YEARS is long. INDIA SHALL EXPLORE IT'S 1800 KM by 2000 km land surface, 100 - 2000 km on sea bed to check if urenium can be extracted economically.
2) USA has formed NSG with 50 countries to deny access to nuclear fuel to countries like NDIA. World has 120 - 150 countries. INDIA can make an extensive search for URANIUM in the remaining POOR countries. It will help that POOR country for their economic unliftment and HELP india to gel fuel. But how does it stop the foreigncurrency outgo? Since these poor contries need is limited to " ROOTI-KAPDE-AUR-MOKAN", in which INDIA is strong enough; it can exchagne those goods with NUCLEAR FUEL ( if available). Since these poor countries does not have economical, technological capability, they will welcome help from INDIA.

[G]. Why this deal ?

If INDIA refused to this proposal, OPTION as in [F] above can not be materialised? Why? Since USA is WORLD DADA, it will influence other ( 125-50 = 75) countries not to allow INDIA for exercising OPTION [F]


[H].- Conclusion ?

INDIAN has no option but to sign the deal.
