Using nukes is not something we want to take lightly or allow ourselves to be held hostage by. It's a hard situation. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/even-limited-nuclear-war-could-144500918.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more global warming. Beyond that, the toll on people is sobering. One only has to look at the effects of the nukes in ww ii, the nuke plant meltdowns at chernobyl and fukushima, and the way of life for people in kazakhstan to see just how bad a limited or full scale war could be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we've even seen the worst of Fukushima yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. For the first time in a LONG time I am, personally, looking at the possible consequences of such a war. Those in our government who allowed NK to get to this point bear the responsibility if they use nukes. It should have been stopped 25 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, I think you may be right. It also illustrates something I hope the leadership on all sides will notice: use a nuclear warhead and everyone on the planet gets to share in the fallout. Literally. The leakage from Chernobyl and Fukushima are illustrate what happens once the radiation genie gets out of the bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention that our use of them again would open the floodgate for more and more "limited" use of them by all who have them. There would be no going back.

The nuclear fuel is burned and consumed in a bomb, but the power plant disasters the fuel is still there and we may never be free of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
