yup, bush has treatened china, north corea, iraq, etc. to use nuclear warfare against them. :angry: holy shit, i feel a controversial topic coming up but this is absolutely INCREDIBLE :pissed: !! it shows that the usa is willing to use any way possible if it helps its goals. the problem is that in a nuclear war, there are no winners - believe me here (u too, sy! ;)). if this wont be stopped we have stepped nearer to the end of the world as we know it.

I would rather see America, as the only country with nuclear weapons, then any other country, i.e Iraq, China, India. And there will not be a nuclear war, there are to much to lose, but USA are the only country that can have nuclear weapons without me being worried about it.

It sucks cause soo many other countries have Nuclear weapons now, its terrible, and if one gun goes off (a nuclear warhead) more guns don't go off, we end up destroying everything:( Terrible truth

Being a US citizen of voting age, I would like to say I didn't vote for Bush and I curse everyone who did. Being an environmentalist, I am very angry about his policies, especially after Sept. 11th. It seems congress decided that event would turn them into a bunch of Bush yes-men. Hell... if Bush doesn't care about the environment... why wouldn't get care about ruining it more with nuclear weapons? Bush just wants to start wars, because that might be the only way he will get re-elected. Are politicians so corrupt they would resort to senselessly wrecking the lives of innocent people? Bush... yes. Perhaps others also?

Couldn't agree more, The bush admin. is full of it, they can't hide behind the whole "fight on terrorism" and make it look like we are the bad guys fighting off the evil. What was one of the first things that the bush admin. did when they took control? Take 500million bucks from the e.p.a.(environmental protection agency) protecting our environment is a good thing, it keeps us living longer;) Bush admin. is just compenstating for themsevles with big business coporations, and they get richer, and as most unknowing people in the world get more polluted, most people i encounter don't have a clue what the Bush admin. has done to the e.p.a. and our future environment, he's a pycho and a greedy bastard, and its sad to have him ruling the U.S.A.:(

Who is being silly? Only two nuclear bombs has ever been used in war, first and last time. The # is probaly a lot higher for testing but lets face facts - more incidents have occured with nuclear power plants...Do you recognize the frase... It is so unlikely that it never happened... If you do, good for you, and if you don't... Nuclear weapons are used to demonstrate power, they were constructed for use in war but after they destroyed Hiroshima, Japan in 1964...
Correction in 1945 their destructive powers were shown to the world. All countires and goverments are aware of the threat, but they do not intend to use them against each other. The only problem with nuclear weapons is that wanna-be super nations, I am very confident in the fact that you can all figure out who they are, try to show thier powers by developing nuclear weapons.
American president Gerorge Bush is not saying that he is going to use nuclear weapons, the congress would newer give him a go on that one, it would probaly be neccesary with a unamyous vote - all in favor, for him to send a tiny missil anywhere. The US has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world, a lot bigger then the russian counterpart which is second biggest. The reaming countries have small nuclear arsenals and should there for not be taken as a real threat, with Iraq being the capital exception. War today isn't the same it was fifty years ago, they fought with guns, we fight with money.
If country A ensists on developing and keeping nuclear weapons country B is going to make sure that they can't countinue to do so. With the risk of insulting others, Iraq, India, Pakistan, North Corea and China have no reason to keep a nuclear arsenal, and should not be trusted to keep them. India and China have the largest population in the world but are a very small part of cunsumption, 10 % of all people consume 80 % of all merchendise. They are not a economical super powers nor warfare ones... Iraq, Pakistan have their own problems and should take care of thier people instead of spending billions of dollars on research, imagine how many camels they could buy for the enormous amount of money the have spent on nuclear weapons.
And not to mention the threat they impose if they were to come in the hands of terrorists, which all come from a certain point of the world and all have one thing in common - religion... The only country I would trust my life to is the US, Russia is very close to being safe on me scale, they other countries do not have the security needed for safe keeping.
If something were to go off, Houston, we have a problem...

With the risk of insulting others, Iraq, India, Pakistan, North Corea and China have no reason to keep a nuclear arsenal, and should not be trusted to keep them
hear hear, then tell me: who - in ur opinion - HAS a reason to keep nuclear weapons?? :pissed: <zyn>the usa bcoz they need to defend themselves against all the evil countries in the world he fight against freedom and democracy??</zyn> :pissed: sorry but thats bullshit royale. there is no way any country could justify bearing any weapons of mass destruction.
imagine how many camels they could buy for the enormous amount of money the have spent on nuclear weapons
ill take that as a joke and ignore it
The only country I would trust my life to is the US
every day u find more reasons to trust the us, eh?? :plain2: open ur eyes.
concluding i have a feeling u r taking this threat way too easily. the danger that is coming from nuclear warfare is not to imagine and may never, ever be underestimated. u shouldnt be blind against wot a country that calls itself good is doing. so far, my thoughts.

not necessaraily. a us vs pakistan war (just an example guys) would result in pakistan completely removed from the face of the earth, while the us probably losing a few major cities. nukes are extremely powerful, but think of them as large-city-and-surrounding-area removers.
but thats not my point. some people (like good old dubya bush) seem to feel that the us is invincible behind their large stockpile of nukes.

sort of an ironic topic.. seeings how we just had a little classroom debate in world civ about WWII and the nuclear warheads, and a little breifing about the cold war.
anyway.. personally, i would love to see clinton back in office. just from looking at bush, you can tell he's a laid back cowboy in a nice suite with all his advisors kissing his ass. i think clinton had much more sense of what needs to be done, and how to do it.
as far as any use of nukes.. i see it highly unlikely, but not impossible. sure, the us might be "the strongest country in the world", but that means BS when a nuke takes out DC and the country is in havoc. one country dropping 1 nuke would create worldwide chaos, mass gathering of allied countries, and overnight have WW3 on our hands. surely politicians aren't that stupid, and i find their "oh, we can nuke you if we have justified reasons" shit as just a politcal bluff to get their way.
i feel the UN needs to step into play somewhere and tell bush to slow his role, since he's literlally turning into a dictator and using the "War on terror" as some coverup for other little schemes he probably has going on the flip side.

the country preaches freedom and democracy without practicing it (reminds me of skool ;)) ... its really ironic. everyone living in the us should be able to confirm wot u just wrote. however, the un needs to give up its solidarity with the usa and form a front against the imperialistic plans of bush and his henchmen. its obvious that he is willing to use EVERYthing possible to reach his goals.

I don`t see the whole point of the debate. Any country that has nukes (and that`s about half of Europe`s countries), has a nuclear "hitlist", it`s obvious. The problem is, that some asshole from the US security offices was dumb enough to leak the US list out. There`s probably a lot of beheading going on now at the Pentagon.

No, not really but I enjoy spending christmas with friends and family, I am certain that you share the same belief. Christmas isn't about religion or Santa Claus, it's about having a good time.
Nuclear weapons were discovered by mistake, and the capital reason for why the allies developed nuclear weapons was to beat the Nazi's to it. Adolf Hitler, not him personally, started the research on nuclear power and weapons long before the allies did, however most of the scientist involved in the project exchanged their freedom agaist their knowledge.
The cold war was a political, techical and economical war, it had nothing to do with them actually beating the crap out of eachother. Sovjet, which later on became Russia were at that time a superpower, still is in some aspects, with a political belief - communism most people don't share. Decades after WWII America and Russia were the only true superpowers, which is good for balance, good - evil, yin - yang..., but bad for overall influence. Someone discovered that they could force the Commis and Russia to poverty by fooling them into believing that the Americans had more weapons and tecnology in construction then they did, and it worked. You are a fool if you truly believe that poeple and goverments are taking the threat of nuclear war less serious now compared to twenty years ago, if no one fears them, why have them...
Most of the tecnology used in our everyday products, i.e computers, are a direct result from the cold war. There was a need for it, and it was developed for other purposes then letting some communist kid showing his stupidity to the world online.
It amuses me that people on a Nintendo 64 oriantated forum can't see the humor in the following quote...Just because it doesn't have the obligatory :p...

They have granted him free hands against terrorism, I am not sure but I have a feeling that it doesn't include the use of nuclear weapons.

The United states of America has cleary a need for nuclear weapons, since religions idiots in other countries insists on having them. If the US doesn't need weapons, please do tell me which country out of the following that does...
Iraq, so that they can ignore their own population, two million children has died since it became known that Iraq had access to nuclear weapons. Well, you might say that the US is responsible for their deaths. Because they are the ones counterworking Iraq's attempts to trade.
If Iraq were to destory or give upp their nuclear weapons the trade block would be liften or atleast modified, the same goes for Pakistan, India, China, Corea...
ill take that as a joke and ignore it
It was a joke, but the meaning behind it is still true, they are spending their people's money on warfare tecnology neglecting their peoples needs....
every day u find more reasons to trust the us, eh?? :plain2: open ur eyes.
I can't, I glued them together the other day when I was bored...

There isn't a threat, just because President Bush likes his...well cooked...I fail to see the reason for why he should microwave an entire country, not to say an entire continent. And once again, nuclear weapons are used to give a deeper meanings to threats... If you were to threaten me, real life that is, I would probaly lay down on the floor lauging...But if you had a couple of friends with you the threat would be taken much more seriously from my side... And how can any of you estimate how many nuclear missiles it would take to destory a country or a continent... Do you have any facts to back that up?

...they have nuclear weapons, even a small country as Sweden has the tecnology needed to develop nuclear weapons, I wouldn't be surprised if that also goes for Finland, but both countries lacks use and motive, and more importantly support from the people, for nuclear weapons.

the effects of a nuclear war will be devasting. bush adminstration has started something ridiculous. even the mention of attacking iraq is so dangerous, imagine wat sadam is preparing to counter, i doubt he's gonna sit and the usa bomb the fuck out of him. instead of going on this rampage, why doesnt bush intervene with israeli/palestinian crisis...something which is presently out of control, rather than starting a new violent crisis. i know one reason...oil. the usa wont intervene, as the middle-east is rich in oil, and the USA dont want to ruin there links there, as that means money will be lost. when it comes down to it, these wars are all about oil...look at the gulf, a pointless crisis, in which millions died over oil. of course there are other factors, but im finding it real scary how Bush wants to start another cold war. its great to know our lives are in safe hands ??? :hrm:

more countries hav nukes than u think. officially, there are only around 5-10 nuclear powers. since USSR's fall, many of its nukes have been smuggled to other countries. And if u think that at one point in the Cold War, even Canada had nukes, it is very possible that many countries that are "researching" or "hav tech to build but didnt make" do hav their own secret stockpile.

The Kyoto protocol is an agreement between almost all countries in the world to reduce the production of CO2. This agreement is a very bad thing for the texan petrol societies, that financed Bush's campain. So the first descision he took as president was to refuse to apply the protocol.
It has nothing to do with th current nuke bomb storry...

it was the koyoto agreement which was essentially a set of sanctions that would financially cripple the usa, completley rationing their use of oil and at a time when the country needed investment (ie the country was entering a recession around the dot com crash), he simply could not afford to risk the livleyhood of his people to make some greenpeace representatives happy

jesus, read cold war history again. u probably have no idea how close they were to send away those missles. berlin, 1954 -- cuba, 1961 -- berlin / the wall, 1969 -- only to name a few. u probably totally underestimate the power of nuclear weapons as well. newest nuclear weapons make hiroshima look like a firecracker, just u know.

my point about the cruise missles was that what bush isnt doing isnt telling bin laden to talk to the hand cos the face aint listening, he's doing something about it... and are you gonna accept that nasty things happen on this planet or what?
as for your second point, you seriously think the cold war was NOT about polotics and money? then im afriad you are misguided, true they came close to sending missiles, possibly very close... and for the record assuming underestimation simply for disagreement is a grave misjudgement.
my point about co2 is pretty damn obvious, wheres the sense in crippling yourself to make little or no difference to a changing environment:blush:

my point about co2 is pretty damn obvious, wheres the sense in crippling yourself to make little or no difference to a changing environment:blush:
Exactly, there are no real proof that mankind is the reason for the global heating, perhaps we are increasing it by a very, very small percentage... Also, a or the reason for why they still are bombing Afganistan is oil. Russia wants to draw pipelines through the Aganistan desert to avoid problems with other countries in the nearby area... By looking on a map I am sure you are able to find out which countries I am refering to...

"I don't know how long this has been going on, but just a few days ago i heard about how many countries America has been threatening that are considered at threat to the America, Anyone know what I am talking about?"
"yup, bush has treatened china, north corea, iraq, etc. to use nuclear warfare against them. holy shit, i feel a controversial topic coming up but this is absolutely INCREDIBLE !! it shows that the usa is willing to use any way possible if it helps its goals. the problem is that in a nuclear war, there are no winners - believe me here (u too, sy! ). if this wont be stopped we have stepped nearer to the end of the world as we know it."
wow, the false information here is amazing. he never threatened to use it, it's just been revealed that there are contingency plans laid out in case something escalates to the point where they have to use it. countries prepare for this kind of thing all the times, that doesn't mean they plan to, want to, or think they will use it. that just means if the worse case scenario comes up, they are prepared.
and you can be sure, russia, china, et al have laid out strategic plans as well.
nobody was threatened.

actually you posted:
"bush has treatened to bomb these countries with nuclear weapons. do i need to say more? congress has approved every instance of this imperialistic war and plus he doesnt even need the approval anymore since he is already granted all powers. "
once again, need i say it one more time that he never threatened to use them?
and actually, the president cannot declare war. and the use of nuclear weapons would certainly be a step from a 'conflict' (re: vietnam) to declaring war.

ME=ENRAGED, ok i didn't think this thread would keep going, and thankfull it did and you guys have followed through with not recognizing any problems by reading that story Azimer found;)
Sounds like a pollution control agreement to limit climate change from pollution. We definately wouldn't need to worry about this if we had nukes dropped on us.
Sounds LIKE!? JEez...
It has nothing to do with th current nuke bomb storry...
hehe, wow, you guys are that dense
it was the koyoto agreement which was essentially a set of sanctions that would financially cripple the usa
well it looks like sy has feel into the lovely propoganda that the usa wants us to believe;)
my point about co2 is pretty damn obvious, wheres the sense in crippling yourself to make little or no difference to a changing environment
EXACTLY! You guys DON'T know anything about the environmental crisis, you read one little story from Azimer cause you really had no idea what i was talking about, and you guys obviously have no backaround information on environmental pollution today;)
Crippling YOUR NATION?! CUTTING back 500 million(might have been billion) From the E.P.A., WHERE DO YOU THINK THAT IS GOING? CRIPPLING YOUR NATION FOR MORE WAR in denying the kyoto protocol, and greedy little bush admin. with big businesses
Why do you think over 2,500 scientist in Kyoto, Japan agreed that C02 emissions from America alone is destroying our environmental protection? Not to mention the 1,000's of American scientists that believe this as well, YOU KNOW WHAT SCIENTISTS didn't agree on this?! The big oil companies and and automobile companie's Scientists, YES and all of you conforming leads these big businesses into depleting this non-renewable resources (not renewable within our liftime) AND not to mention covering up the crisis with our ozone and the greenhouse effect, none of you believe in this and thats EXACTLY what big businesses and the Bush Admin. want you to believe, they profit temporarily, we suffer enivronmental damages, you guys wanna here the statistics of how screwed we are? cause i know you all don't know, wait for Azimer to post another story so you all can just base it off one source.

"once again, do i need to say that this more or less means he would use them? please, i am sick of splitting hair."
no, not at all. it means he is <b>PREPARED</B> to use them. not that he would. when you are the president of a country, with enemies across the world, who you know are currently <b>producing</b> weapons of mass destruction, it would be assinine not to have a plan on what course of action you should take if things escalate to that point.
maybe you're ignorant, i dunno. but you can't seem to grasp the point.

stop! the protocoll that was revealed did not say that the usa would be prepared to use nukes, thats clear anyway. it specifically revealed a LIST OF NATIONS that should be attacked. so much for arrogance. plus, again: is the us the only nation authorized to have weapons of mass destruction (besides the obvious reason that its bullshit in general) ?? russia, china (they were on the list) is not -- or wot is ur point? sorry, this is simply blind. if u trust the usa blind, grow up.

actually, maybe you need to go back and read up. the list of nations was a list of countries the united states had <b>plans</b> of ways nuclear weapons <b>could</b> be used. once again, contingency plans if things escalated to that point. never did it have a list of nations that <b>should</b> be attacked. not only are you incapable of reading my posts, but you are also incapable of comprehending what you read elsewhere.
and actually the 'rules' are that there should be no more producing of weapons of mass destruction, and that countries (specifically us and russia) should begin disposing of the weapons. not that nobody is allowed to have the previously made warheads.
you are blind to anti-us propoganda if you think the united states thinks it's in anyones best intent to use nuclear weapons. if you feel that way, you seriously need to get your head examined.

and who knows who's following it and who isn't. it wouldn't shock me if the us, china or russia still produce them. that wasn't the point of what i said.

"And you believe this? btw, what was your point? i don't see it other than some treaty..."
the guy asked why it was ok for the us to produce weapons of mass destruction and not china, russia, et al.
and i responded that it isn't ok for anyone to produce them, and came back with the treaty.
i never said it is being followed by everyone. if anyone finds out for a fact that anyone (us, russia, china, pakistan, india) is producing these weapons sanctions should be taken against them.
now i gotta head out, if you want to continue to be naive i'll argue with you later.

Josep: first of all, i wasn't calling you naive, 2fast4u is the on who can't comprehend what he reads.
and he's the one who brought up the 'rules' the united states is breaking. that's why i asked him about the 'rules'. he's the one you should be asking about the use of the term, not me.
and there is an anti-nuclear weapons ban treaty. if you have the time, go look it up, at this time i don't have the spare time to look for it.
"3 words: L O L ! that probably means that criticizing the american gov't is considered anti-american propaganda? sorry, thats ridiculous. "
actually not. i hate bush. i voted for gore. i could think of a million things to criticize him for, including his handling of the atmosphere and his pro-big business stance on things. but having a contingency plan to attack other nations if things got desparate is not one of them. every country in the world is prepared, as they should be.

2fast: it isn't a problem. it's the way diplomacy and military strategy is. you never want to be unprepared.
josep: when i first got into this debate, people were saying that bush had given a list of nations that should be attacked, like he was ready to do it. i argued that he has a plan to attack countries if necessary.
that's my stance. all i ever said was it wasn't something he wanted to do, which 2fast seems to think. just that if the worst possible scenario became true, the us would be prepared. and that's something i would hope for out of a government.

well thanks for telling me what i can and can't do but, fyi i have read your posts, but the fact of the mater is my rescent replies have been to 2fast... unlike you he doesnt just question everything the american government does, he offers alternatives... of which i disagree with many
oh and as for your consistant insults on my english... i believe you will find debate is a discussion of subject matter in which people offer their views, give reason and listen to others... they don't just give their views then question the views of others...
