Something light hearted to take our minds off the Sox

As close as we may come, i don't think that a nuclear bomb will ever be dropped again as an act of war.

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.

I voted between 5-10 years, but actually I don't anticipate it being DROPPED, just exploded.

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.

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. :crying

I believe it will be detonated, but not by the US. 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.

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.

We already HAVE provided some as a third party to at least one Middle East nation.

I believe the US will, in all likelyhood, be the recipient.

i wouldnt be suprised if it occurs in europe

in my opinion with the way this world seems to be working as of late I dont think I will live to see 60....23 in November......

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.
