Which Nation is the Most Anxious to Pop a Nuke?

[Philosoraptor]

Here's the list:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_with_nuclear_weapons

Russia? France? China? India or Pakistan? North Korea maybe? Or Iran? Israel perhaps?

Hmmmm, who could it be...?

[MessiahRp]

1. If you listen to Sean Hannity... it's us.

The Neo-cons seem more than eager to show our nuclear force.

29. MY GOD !

This is depressing. It is obvious that we have a madman in the whitehouse. And these posts and post in other sites that are very similar to this show that most people (with brains) believe we are going to be nuking another country soon?!? WTF Get the son of a bitch outa there NOW! If there is indeed a chance that this is true just get him the hell out.

2. Bushistan, by far

Why'd you leave them off the list?

[valerief]

3. Perfect name for his world. n/t

[Philosoraptor]

5. Oops, did I forget to mention Uncle Sam?

[elliswyatt]

4. Israel

just wait and see

[savemefromdumbya]

6. Yes the USA (under the influence of a cocaine addict)

[ThomWV]

7. Pakistan Will Detonate the First Nuke Of The New Dark Ages

You watch ....

[Philosoraptor]

8. On India?

[maxsolomon]

9. in order of likelyhood

Pakistan
America
Israel
Iran
NK
India
China
Russia
England
France

if Pakistan does it, India will be 2nd.

[Philosoraptor]

10. I got my eye on the French.

That's two for Pakistan.

[PATRICK]

18. The neglected trouble spot

is India. There papers openly worry that America(showing its current ineptness in Bush/Condy "armistice" ham-handedness and favoritism) will be able or disinclined to stop the perennial blowups between them and pakistan(Bush ally). This is extremely bad. Bush I's diplomats narrowly averted a hot war. Today? It would likely be guaranteed, Powell out of the picture completely.

24. Put the UK at the bottom

the UK must ask technical permission of the US first. Their force isn't completely independent.

France will pop one on the country that attacks us or another European country in a 9/11 style. Chirac has made it clear. But it probably would be on a military base or vital infrastructure, not on a crowded capital.

13. Sadly, I Have To Agree

We are one assassination away from a real mess there.

[ThomWV]

11. My Real Guess? Syria Detonating a Pakastani Bomb in Israel

Or maybe a North Korean bomb, doesn't matter much which ...

[elliswyatt]

12. no way

then the zionists would flatten damascus. asad isn't stupid

[Philosoraptor]

14. what if they nuked their nukes first?

keeps you on your apocalyptic toes.

[elliswyatt]

15. good thought

but rest assured, the US would have a shipment of nukes on the way before i could pronounce apocalyse.

[cali]

16. Good thought?

Please expound.

[elliswyatt]

26. re:

I only say good thought to be constructive. i'm the most positive and constructive guy you'd ever meet. ;-)

[cali]

27. Oh, c'mon

Mr. Constructive, you can do better than that cryptic little comment. If the thought of Israel being nuked is a good one to you, why not have the guts to admit it. If that's not what you meant, why not clear it up?

[elliswyatt]

30. re:

good thought can be interpreted as, "you have a point," and I meant it in that way. Just for the record: I don't want Israel to be nuked. I don't want nukes to be used at all by any country. Sorry for being cryptic.

[cali]

32. self-delete

[cali]

33. self-delete

[cali]

34. Thanks for clearing that

up. Glad to hear it. I'm with you. I don't want to see nukes used again ever.

[elliswyatt]

36. nukes

are so 50 years ago. i pray there aren't worse things to come

[Behind the Aegis]

20. The Zionists?

Try the word "Israelis." :eyes:

[elliswyatt]

25. Zionists

I use Zionist just as I don't like to include all "Americans" as responsible for Repubs' actions. I have Israeli friends who wouldn't fight a lick for the actions of the Zionists... and they aren't just Muslim Arabs.

[Behind the Aegis]

28. But the hypothetical attack was on Israel...

...therefore the response would be "Israeli." Just like an attack on the US would be responded to by "Americans."

[elliswyatt]

35. re:

point taken. thanks.

[leftofthedial]

17. not us

Halliburton makes more money when we just destroy everything.

[Philosoraptor]

19. The destroying and rebuilding biz is on the upswing.

[leftofthedial]

40. that seems to be the primary foreign policy mdous operandi of the repukes

build

destroy

rebuild

redestroy . . .

[FrenchieCat]

21. The United States of America?

That's my guess based on their track record!

[Phoonzang]

22. Top 3?

1. Iran
2. Israel
3. United States

[anakie]

23. Bush and his gang of armageddonists

n/t

[lonestarnot]

31. Bushitler wants to put on his fake zipper freak suit and ride the

Little Fat Sister deliveree Gay Nola to SWAK so he can be remembered! That freak!

[fujiyama]

37. IMO In Order: Pakistan-They've been very close before...

but Clinton did a good job of handling the crisis and having them step down. And of course, the threat of a coup is always present. As another said, if they're first, India is second.

North Korea - What do they have to lose? In a conflict with the US on the Korean peninsula, NK could...

Iran - How much does Ahmedenijad hate Israel? Would he risk his nation's population centers to kill many Israelis?

Israel - if they are cornered in any sense, they will undoubtadly use them.

Russia - they face threats of terrorism, but would they use nuclear weapons against the Chechens? They have certainly reacted quite brutally in the past with regards to them.

China - if a war with India or the US were to break out, then it's always a possibility.


Contrary to what most believe, I don't think the US is that likely to use nukes, even under Bush. Why bother? We have enough conventional weapons to do whatever damage we want. It's unecessary and as psychotic as this administration is, I don't see it happening just yet.

I don't think the other western nuclear powers are very likely to rely on nukes at this point.

But if there is any sort of nuclear terrorist attack on the US, it's possible...

[leesa]

38. The US by far.

[Odin2005]

39. Pakistan.

If Musharriff is assaninated and Taliban-types come to power Delhi will be turned into radioactive glass and we will have World War III on our hands. Indian Muslims will be massacred by Hindu Nationalists, angering other Muslim countries causing them to declare war on India. The Pakistani Fundies invade Afganistan, bringing NATO into the war. When NATO joins the war Middle Eastern states retaliate by invading Israel and Iraq. Israel nukes Mecca and Tehran, Pakistan nukes Tel Aviv, them the US nukes Islamabad...
