ARE YOU ON CRACK OR WHAT?
threatening to use nuclear weapons is a STUPID way of trying to get something from the world. let alone using a tactical nuclear warhead DESIGNED to mass murder.
i advocate keeping it as a deterrent by using it as you suggested tbh you need a reality check.
if used you can kiss goodbye to f***ing EVERYTYHING you have ever known.
good night life on this dreery rock tbfh
Jeez louise! Anyone would think if you saw a rifle/gun youd crap yourself.
A nuke is a nuke... yeah sure massive megaton explosions = mass murder/death/civilian casualties.
Used correctly and modified/developed to minimise collateral damage I believe they could be an effective form of offensive weapon.
Serious, nuclear weapons can be modified to dispense most of their energy in the form of thermal radiation, as opposed to x-ray. Just as they can be modified to emit more x-rays than infra-red.
I would like to see what youve googled up to find out that nuclear fission/fusion becomes inefficient using smaller sizes of material when in comparison to traditional munitions.
The idea behind my suggestions would be for them to augment current munitions, not replace. At the moment the mere mention of their name conjours up images of burnt japanese cities or babies with 9 legs and 3 eyes.
Just as the average person overreacts to seeing a gun/rifle, everyone seems to overreact when it comes to nuclear weapons. Yes they are weapons of terror, they terrify me, however I would be happy if it was deemed legal to actually research into weapons, test them, and produce more sane weapons, such as nuclear penetration bombs, and a replacement for cluster bombs.
Due to the higher risk of radiation, these weapons would obviously have to be decided upon after deliberation but it would actually offer someone more options than a.) risking another bunch of men, or b.) carpet bombing an area with little bomblets that tend not to blow up, and kill little kiddies later on.
Environmental effects? You dont think the concussion effect, followed by the vacuum strong enough to pull your lungs outside of your body, and the lovely shockwave that follows destroying everything in its path that comes with fuelair bombs (aka daisy cutters) is environmentally friendly?!
yeah sure.. im sure that the now deaf, dead, bunny wabbits are thinking the same. Bombs are designed to kill, they definately arent environmentally friendly, and pretty much anything inside of the immediate range of any type of one, is doomed anyway. Residual radiation effects can be minimised, and evaluated prior to use of a nuclear device.
Whats the point in a deterrent against something thats never going to happen because everyones seen too many action movies. How about we give a point to our countries nuclear weapons programme.
