By Bush act on axis of evil, he made clear his target of war, the chances are, these country will defend itself or will take the most extream measure to ensure there repressors are no longer a threat. There are three axis of evil that are close or already have nuclear weapons.
Cuba
Iran
North Korea
I can’t help but see these nations working together to rid the threat of America tyranny by the majority, it is only logical that they will release nuclear weapons onto Americans and have help developing these nuclear weapons by Cuba and North Korea.
If such an attack ever did happen, well, don’t expect me to fight, because it was the government actions that draged us into this mess.
I think that we will get nuked eventually. It’s just a matter of when other countries get the nukes, and when they feel arrogant enough to use them. I mean, Osama would have nuked us if he could have gotten his hands on one. Eventually he, or someone like him, will be able to. Unless the political atmosphere of the world changes drastically, i.e. world peace, I think it is only a matter of time. Go and read some of Heinlein’s works. He wrote a whole lot of stuff on this subject.
the american goverment recently voted a few laws wich would enable america to start nuclear testing again, and also to enable and stimulate the developement of small nuclear weapons (to penetrate bunkers)
It may not be the will of most american citizens, but it is a clear example of how one man (and a chosen few, including companies) can manipulate and do serious harm.
certain american companies have earned billions since 9/11 and they don’t want the war on terror stopped.
Of course, the war on terror shouldn’t stop, but they it is currently fought should change, and that is without disrespect for all the people on the ground that are fighting it
If you mean by an ICBM or long-range missile, then no, it will never, never happen. If you mean some moron with a dirty-bomb, then that is at least possible. Even hospitals have nuclear material…it’s not terribly hard to get. However, you surely must realize that no country wants its own destruction - which would surely occur if they nuked the U.S.
About one man messing things up…I’m like the vast majority of Americans in scientific polls who think he’s a good president. I’m happy to have a prez who thinks for himself instead of following polls for his beliefs (like a certain ex-president I could name).
the more dangerous threat is from the US them selves, asi mentioned earlier the small NUKES called Mini Nukes, or bunker busters.
these have a explosive power equall to 1/3 of the size of hiroshema.
capable of killing hundreds of thusands (if not millions depending on the location) of people instantly.
and effecting countless people further down the line with cancer etc…
the reason these are being developed is this.
the US government dosen’t see ICBM’s ever being used, thus they are useless, however the Mini Nukes will eb more publicly acceptable (or less unacceptable) and are therefore much less damaging to an administration in political effects than using an ICBM.
this makes them MUCH MORE LIKELY TO BE USED.
rather than the close to 0% chance of the US using a ICBM in a war. these new Mini Nukes will be considerd nearly every day b the military.
if they had them at the time of Afganistan they WOULD HAVE USED THEM, also they would have NUKED IRAQ if they had them developed already.
this is a scary prospect for the world, and i feel that the US is more likely to be NUKED because of it. in retaliation from the rest of the world or in a pre-emptive strike on the US.
start she-eating your pants America its not a safe place ot live right now
Remember that the U.S. is not in the business of killing civilians - this has been proven in spades by the relentless methods taken in both Gulf Wars to only strike military targets, even at the expense of costing US lives. If small nukes are used, they would be used in a similar strategic fashion - the phrase “nuke Iraq” simply as the wrong connotation of killing innocents.
I take it you don’t watch the news, read any papers, books, or listen to people…
Hehe. Just kidding. But seriously, there has never been an army or war more concerned with not killing civilians than the modern U.S. military. If you think otherwise, read some international papers.
Al-Capone, you know nothing of logic. All you have is what the libertarians have brain-washed you with. You complain because the government is too strong, but yet what you don’t understand is, is that if it wasn’t as strong as it is, we may have been nuked a long time ago. Why don’t you quit whining for once and enjoy the freedoms you have.
The USA (meaning the administration) are THE military world power
The USA are an economical world power
The USA are morally and ethically amateurs.
This is a very bad combination.
USA will increase their influence over the world in the next years, producing more and more resistance, more and more opponents, and perhaps more and more terrorists.
Finally the empire will collapse like every empire has collapsed so far in history.
Hard to say if it will be in 50 years or 100 years or 150 years, but it will. The difference perhaps is that this collapse will cost more lives then every other so far, because I’m sure the nukes will be used in the empire’s agony.
Hope the USA won’t go much further on its present way.
Morallity and ethics is relative to things such as culture, religion, and society. Because we are all not the same, someone will always hate somone. Until people figure this out, they will always hate the USA and remain completely ignorant.

The hole thing would be lenghty detailed discussion.
Just two thoughts.
First, I think the meaning of truth, facts are not very different in the world.
Second, of course certain aspects of ethics and morality are specific to culture and religion but one may wonder why the USA sometimes just
ignores this in favour of getting influence and power.
Ignorance: As a German I know very well what the USA did for my country but I also see what they doing now and this doesn’t fit together.
well some day ago me and my friends were talking about that…and one of the way it could collapse was that terrorist suceed at getting a nuke and make it explose in usa…then the population get scare and exode in other country…but this is just a “theory”…I don’t think USA will get nuke…but every empire in the past of our history collapse…
it will come sooner or later, no doubt… and with nukes, or hey, maybe something worse
