What would happen if, magically, no nuclear weapons of any kind would detonate over Russian soil and the whole world knew about it?
My sales of spells would drastically increase.Everyone would want that magic. Probably everyone would disregard invisibility potions and love incantations, and go straight for the nuclear protection wards.I'd have to hire more elves to help with production. Which would mean less elves making toys and shoes. It's not like elves grow on trees - that's gnomes.In a few short months, the planet would suffer from a shortage of toys and shoes. Much would change, but for the better. Going barefoot is a small price to pay for ending nuclear threats across the globe.Warning: Nuclear protection wards have been known to cause unwanted side effects with microwave ovens and plasma televisions. Nuclear protection ward suppliers, distributors, and elves are not responsible for unwanted side effects. Consult a physician or witch doctor before purchase.
"A world without Nuclear Weapons"?
The Taliban have no capacity to get or launch nuclear weapons and they only have the potential of getting an already existing nuke (ie someone else's nuke that is stockpiled). I think nuclear stockpiles are a bad idea and every nation in the world should eliminate their stockpiles. Further to that the UN should be allowed to do random searches in ANY country that is capable of building nukes to make sure they are not stockpiling under the radar. The ability to create nuclear weapons should be maintained as it does act as a deterrent to total war (like we saw in WWII). The Cold War would have been WWIII if it wasn't for the invention of the nuke. I don't think this will ever happen though because as long as one other nation in the world has at least one nuclear weapon, the USA will stockpile some nukes as deterrents. Further more certain countries in the world (Pakistan and India) will never give up their nukes (no matter what). It is more realistic to have a cap on the number of nukes any given country can have at one time.
What would happen if a Nuclear Bomb got dropped on ISIS?
Here's what would happen: 1. One bomb would take out a handful of ISIS, considering that they are spread out over a huge area. If you want to take out the majority of them, several bombs would be needed. 2. For each nuke, plan on an entire city being destroyed. That means killing upwards of 100 civilians we are trying to free from ISIS for every 1 ISIS member in that city. 3. For each nuke, plan on lot of radioactive fallout spreading across the region, possibly further. 4. The international community, along with the majority of our own citizens, will be up in arms that we launched a first strike, and will be even more pissed because of the huge amount of collateral damage and long lasting effects.
Isn't it time that we give Iran the nuclear weapons they seek?
They're seeking nukes, so let's give them some The USAF can arrange air delivery BAGHDAD - The U.S. military accused Iran on Monday of a direct role in a sophisticated militant attack that killed five American troops in Iraq, portraying Tehran as waging a proxy war through Shiite extremists. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070702/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq
What if Russia was a rogue nation like North Korea, after the collapse of the Soviet Union?
If the question is making the implication that, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the country gets itself a crazy dictator that does exactly like Kim Jong-Un did, I think that would have ended with a preemptive strike by NATO.After the collapse of the Soviet Regime, it was estimated that Russia still had nearly 30,000 nuclear weapons left, of which a good number still existed.It’s possible that, if a Russian nationalist got into power during these dark times, things would have went down the rabbit hole real quick.So, what I think would happen is that the US would wait a little bit and see what happens. If things go south quickly, the US and the rest of NATO would have tried to stop Russia.You don’t want a crazy leader getting thousands of nuclear weapons, especially if he ends up picking people who support his beliefs.If you’re gonna elect a crazy leader, at least elect someone like Putin, who’s “only” 90% crazy.https://ourworldindata.org/nucle...
