NATO: Russia talk of pre-emptive strike

[CraeSC111]

Well if you look at C&C Red Alert if we had no nukes the Russians would be winning and Japan would have giant killer robots :P. I don't think the world would be terribly different if we didn't have nukes. We would have developed something to get an edge over other countries in the arms race.

An arms race only leads to world wars.
Nukes should just not exist.

Of course no one should have nukes but us. If countries have to have sticks I want mine to have the biggest stick. Or if none should have sticks I want mine to break the rules and pick up a stick.

That's the kind of thinking that made us develop nukes in the first place. And yea, there would still be wars without nukes, the problem is the excessive collateral damage they, and other WMD's cause. Im glad Norway don't have nukes, i would be even happier if no one else had them either. That beeing said, we do have allies who do.

Its kinda funny the biggest deterrent against using nukes is having them nuke you back. Even without nukes I'm sure that someone would've come up with ways to kill lots of people. Look at what machine guns did in world war 1. We have killed a lot more people with other weapons than with nukes. (We've probably killed more people with toasters. They are dangerous) I don't deny that it'd be best if no one had a stick but that's just not gonna happen. Someone will always make a bigger stick. Maybe one day we'll wipe ourselves out. Then there wouldn't be any sticks
