Pale Hose Jon Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 As close as we may come, i don't think that a nuclear bomb will ever be dropped again as an act of war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 I wish I shared your optimism. I believe that nuclear bombs will be dropped within the next 10 - 15 years. As they become easier to produce, a nut job will get one and in a fit of suicide, it will be detonated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshot7 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 I voted between 5-10 years, but actually I don't anticipate it being DROPPED, just exploded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really believe we will see a nuclear or atomic weapon detonated in our lifetime as an act of terrorism, not as an act of war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaSoxxJim Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Sadly, I believe we will see a nuclear weapon dropped/detonated as an act of war in our lifetime. Even more sad, it will in all likelyhood again be the United States doing the dropping/detonating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At worst, we may provide it to some third party in the Middle East, but I don't believe we will drop/detonate another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I don't think a nation will be insane enough to use a nuke, however a terrorist group will. And that event will probably be sonner rather than later.

Tex, we're talking about a country that has let its current administration convince them that the pursuit of "tactical nukes" and both ethical and necessary. That technology is not being pursued for the results to remain unused. And they may not pack the megatons they bigger siblings do, but they are still bombs, are they not?

Actually, use the correct term. Congress keeps calling them "Usable" nuclear weapons. Usable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already HAVE provided some as a third party to at least one Middle East nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapkomet Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 You'll be lucky to see 30 at this point. Sometimes I wonder why I chose to have a kid in this screwed up world. I wonder if she'll see adulthood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
