[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 6085152, member: 24302"] The nukes are there as a deterrent. Without them we'd have had war with the Soviet Union. Imagine if we didn't have them how many would die in a war between the two greatest powers? How many would have died with conventional bombing? You ok with that? Because we had nukes WWIII never happened. The Russians and Chinese don't like each other. Never have. Those countries are right up against each other and the Chinese are more powerful now. So why don't they invade Russia? Take over Siberia? Because Russia has nukes. Same with Pakistan and India. Same as India with China. Israel would no longer exist if they didn't have nukes. You keep calling nukes bad but they prevent a lot of war. Do you think if we all took nukes away then all wars would stop? No, and with today's weapons they'd be even more terrible than in the past in terms of dead and wounded. [/QUOTE]
