What emotions arise when you think about the potential consequences of a nuclear missile being launched?
@9H2JS3H6mos6MO
I feel massive amounts of fear for the people that a nuclear weapon would cause.
@9H2MS286mos6MO
That could be killing hundreds and thousands of innocent families. They might not know anything going on and then they get hit with a bomb without any heads up.
@9H2LXP76mos6MO
It doesn’t faze me, we are all going to die one day, and we have no control over it.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
How do you feel about the use of nuclear weapons as a deterrent in international conflicts?
@9H2KZLK6mos6MO
Nuclear missiles may be one of the best ways to deter away from that nation. It is something that we must live with. If we stockpile nukes then numerous other countries will try to do the same thing. there needs to be a limit on how many we have because it would just turn into an arms race and get severely out of hand.
@9H2K3QP6mos6MO
It's important to approach discussions about the use of nuclear weapons and geopolitical threats with a nuanced perspective. The use of nuclear weapons as a deterrent in international conflicts is a complex and highly debated topic. While some argue that possessing nuclear capabilities can contribute to deterrence and prevent conflicts, others express concerns about the potential catastrophic consequences of nuclear warfare.
Addressing the assertion that Russia is not a long-term threat and is a distraction from the true problem in China involves considering the evolving dynamics of globa… Read more

I don't think it is humane because considering the two bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki (which were in response to them bombing a MILITARY CITE NOT 2 RESIDENTIAL CITIES) wiped out over a million Japanese citizens. They are not humane and are too deadly. The human cost is too high.
@9H2JLNY6mos6MO
I feel that nuclear weapons should never be used until there is no choice.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Do you believe nations have the right to develop and possess nuclear-capable hypersonic weapons?
@9H2K3QP6mos6MO
The question of whether nations have the right to develop and possess nuclear-capable hypersonic weapons is a matter of international law, security, and ethical considerations. The possession and development of nuclear weapons are regulated by international agreements such as the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), which aims to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and promote disarmament.
Arguments in favor of nations having the right to develop and possess such weapons often revolve around national security concerns and the concept of deterrence. Proponents argue that… Read more

we shouldn't because its not just war we are talking about, peoples lives are at stake and winning a war is nothing if their are no people left to enjoy the fredoms gained from it.
No, the race to become a bigger world power is just a means to a race to end the world that we all reside in, such powerful weapons are not necessary for international affairs.
@9H2LB3TPeace and Freedom6mos6MO
Yes, because we both have beliefs how we should protect our country with defenses.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Should international treaties aim to completely ban the deployment of nuclear weapons, and why?
@9H2JS646mos6MO
Yes because they are inhumane and if used are too deadly and risk human life.
@VulcanMan6 6mos6MO
To be honest, I don't think the "nuclear deterrent" is a legitimate deterrent. I know that we are all told that "no one will ever use nukes because if one person uses it then everyone would use theirs and it'd be WW3 blah blah blah", but I genuinely don't think that'd be the case. Unless a nuclear nation attacks another nuclear nation, I'm pretty sure everyone else would just end up letting it happen to avoid getting involved. I don't doubt there would be political uproar, both from populations and governments around the world, but I really… Read more

In what ways does the news of countries upgrading their nuclear arsenals affect your sense of global security?
@VulcanMan6 6mos6MO
At this point, If I die, I die. I'm already living at the mercy of whatever insane decisions our sociopathic leaders make anyway...
