Should I exercise the nuclear option?

*Shrugging my furry shoulders* If you made a promise or commitment to others then you should at least fullfill your promise. Of course if that is a lifetime thing lol well perhaps that should be re-thought.\n\nIf it was only with yourself, follow your heart, you are capable of deciding what is best for you...

Hey EBP, welcome to my fair country! Yeah lots of stuff about nuclear s*it at the moment, Tony Blair thinks it is our next big source of energy and there's a lot of arguing going on.\n\nAs for nuclear weapons I really don't know what's going on, but I don't really see why we need them- if we didn't have them, nobsoy would suddenly think, 'Hey! The UK have scrapped their nukes- let's bomb them!', because we still have friends overseas who would step in and push the button for us. \n\nNuclear weapons are a thing of the past. My opinion, for what it's worth, we all learned from Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Nobody will ever have the balls to push the button again as I think it really would mean the end of the world.

WHY WOULD U EVEN DO THAT. LOOK IF YOU AREN'T HAPPY WITH WHERE YOU ARE NOW SAVE THE PEACE AND LEAVE. THEN DON'T GET INVOLVED IN ANYTHING SERIOUS.

I will go to an auction site then buy lots and lots of grenades and gunpowder and then lock and load baby.\n\nOr on the other hand I would open diplomatic relations with the enemy and pretend to like them. Then add them to the axis of evil and yet amercia get on with it.

Many of your propositions are well pinpointed. It looks like you are well informed and shrewd. I am sure I wouldn't teach you much more than you already know. I would just say that nearly all of of the options you propose may happen at the same time within a relatively short laps of time in case of grave world-sized crisis.

This is what is called real politik. In politics, you advocate what is best for you, not what is fair. \n\nIt can be stated that keeping nuclear weapons out of the hands of additional nations actually is good for mankind as a whole.

If you don't want to come back you could build a cheap (relatively speaking) rocket, strap yourself in & blast off.  The cost will still be significant, but that's relative to your own financial standing.

Only if we're hit first, then there will be no choice. Getting nuked and not sending one back would send the wrong message to other nuclear armed countries.

If you inherited, then keep the holdings. \nThe situation is hard to predict, who know when the situation in Iraq or Iran will be stable.

This is a debate we're going to have to have here in the US soon...are the risks of nuclear power worth the benefits.  I think there's nothing wrong with nuke power, having worked around it for several years in the early 90's.  I think irrational fear is nuclear power's biggest obstacle.  People fear what they cannot understand.  They see Chernobyl and think that's going to happen all over again in their backyard, when the fact of the matter is that modern nuke plants are as safe as any other industrial facility handling volatile materials.  The UK would be well served by building new nukes and opening up research on alternative power sources simultaneously.

I dunno but it sounds fun! \n\nTry batching out (mast3rbat1ng) a couple of times a week and see if that helps (you might just be rollin with a surplus)

I am not ready to give up on it either but I would fight it a differ ant way, I would disband the military as we know it, keep the Navy and Air force intact. I would build a purely defensive force and guard our own borders against all alien people, put more into intelligence, I know this is radical and probably not to well received but it is my opinion as to what is wrong. We spend to much on overseas and not enough here. There is a better use for the money.

Why should we tell Iran what to do.\nWe should just leave them alone.\nIt's there choice to decide what to use nuclear power for.
