No, that isn't neat.

That's horrible, one of the main deterrents for Nuclear War was that it would destroy the Earth in the process, making it pointless.

If you take away this deterrent, future Nuclear [or non-nuclear] war becomes a lot more likely if things only go down from here...

Its mainly just the fact that its like a nuclear bomb just with out the radiation or nuclear fallout that got my attention I should have explained that. Kind of bad choice in words/wording on my part. Trust me I don't want nuclear weapons or anything similar just like most people. I look forward toward the human race surviving lol

An Anti-matter bomb is more powerful then a nuclear bomb

SheriffMeow wrote An Anti-matter bomb is more powerful then a nuclear bomb

Anti-matter bomb's don't exist due to it costing too much to make. Although, I believe the Hydrogen Bomb is the most powerful bomb at this moment in time.

A nuclear weapon is powerful, but not "Destroy the entire USA" Powerful. One 50 Megaton Nuclear weapon would take out about 1/2-3/4 of New York City. Now guessing that the US has a stockpile of these, we could probably destroy half the nation with our own stockpile. But, there is a UN nuclear arms treaty, and countries have agreed never to use a nuclear weapon on foreign soil while the act is in place. So...if someone breaks that treaty...there are also an entire list-full of nuclear weaponized countries to defend themselves. So no, I do not believe these will be used as of today, and I doubt anyone has a weapons stockpile nuclear capable to destroy the Unite States, or Europe. So I feel safe right where I'm at.

That all depends on who's waging the war. If Russia, N. Korea, Japan and China waged war on the UK, US and some of Europe, we'd most likely lose.

Im sure the americans will test their new weapon on someone soon

Compete wrote Im sure the americans will test their new weapon on someone soon

Why would we? We are in a depression, full of maniacs shooting up daycares, and are still trying to completely end a war. We have no reason to launch nuclear weapons against another country, and probably never will unless fired at first. We may be full of idiots and corrupt politics, but we still follow the rules of warfare

Mhm. Most of our hope is riding on the fact that N. Korea will just blow itself up in civil war, and China and Japan realize 60% of their exports go to us ._. SO hopefully we are deemed somewhat important to the world lol

Nuclear War is definitely on the table for everyone's next option... But, I think in terms of everything that everyone has lived for, we would all, as humans, have common sense and let that option alone. Although, we are inching closer to a new war, WW3. Our allies may seem like they agreed on the terms we gave them to be our allies, but in reality, they all absolutely hate us. We're different, they're different. Most are communist controlled and hate our political government and the rest just hate how we control our freedoms. The saying " Make peace/love not war " means nothing anymore. Heck, us Americans hardly make anything on our own anymore. In my opinion, America is lazy, but yet, a highly controlled environment with a bit of over protection. Nuke<Hydrogen bomb....
