Armor Games

Thankfully those with the desire to do so do not have access to the material required, but there have been several 'dirty' bombs which have been found, and thankfully confiscated, before they could be detonated.

I dont buy it dude. I have no doubt that a terrorist group could blow up almost any city if it were that easy to build one. Some of these guys are funded by goverments after all. Some of those goverments really dont like the western world... like Mr Ahjellybhad and Kim jong nutjob. Saying its a deterrent is an excuse.

What we really need is an alien race that actually wants us extinct.

What noone wants is an unihabitable world. Nukes should be abolished. Noone should have nukes. If the western world gets rid of nukes and mr jellybhad wants one, we say no. Sorry your nuclear power plants are not allowed on this earth because we (can easily) use renewable sources of energy so sorry jellyboy, no uranium for you. And if he disagrees punch him in the face with a missile strike. We are the pot, he is the kettle and we are saying he is black.

And also please answer.

Is it RIGHT to fire back?

Honestly, if someone is prepared to unleash the immense devastation of fission and actually does.... Morals don't apply any more. You are entirely within your rights to nuke him back. That's the ethical aspect. Practically, no. A large (Or even small,) nuclear exchange would screw everyone, so it might be good to attempt to mitigate the damage.

As for Jellyboy, what if he decides to get a nerd or two, spend some moolah, and carve out a niche as total dictator via nuclear weapons. If Alien Space Bats decide to magically make nukes stop working, that would be great. But bans won't work. Big countries (The ones who give a flying hockey puck about "bans",) despite having nukes, are not what we should worry about. They are too sane to throw them around. We should worry about Eastern Nowherestan, led by an insane dictator, developing nukes and then catching us with our pants down. Nukes do work as a deterent, because noone is going to get busy with someone who can end the war by pressing a big button. Except, that is, for Eastern Nowherestan, cuz' its totally insane. Period. (It doesn't help that the current Geneva Convention is way too soft on irregulars. [Like the Taliban.])

Is it RIGHT to fire back?

Think about it: You are a cop and there's a robber. The robber shoots you and you're nearly dead. What would you do? Go hug the robber and say 'I forgive you'?

No! You should shoot the robber shouldn't you? Not just for avenge, but it would also stop the robber from harming the society. Same as nuke.

Also, weapons are getting more and more advanced. Look at the Death Star of Star Wars. You can't stop it, because humans just like killing each other, and they invent many innovative ways to kill.

have ya heard of the cold war because us had nukes and russia had them too if one of them decided to fire they are making sure of destroying them self.

M.A.D. But what happens if some insane terrorist who thinks he'll go to Allah or whatever if he smites the heathens gets nukes? He won't care if he dies or not. Especially if he takes New York down with him.

it also doesnt help that you can figure out how to make a nuke on the internet.... nuclear weapons are one thing that should have never have been invented... it finally gave mankind the ability to effectively destroy itself.

humans basicly are destorying the enviroment, sooner or later it's gonna come back around and destory all of humanity.

on topic, nukes = very harmful for the enviroment, plus a very effective means to destory humanity. who ever was the idiot who invented firearms, gunpower, and nukes should be killed.

Terrorists don't have nukes because getting the material is the difficult part, and the western world has gone to great lengths to ensure that nations which may be sympathetic to terror groups do not and will not have the capability to acquire refined nuclear material.

People, be realistic.
