Nukes!

U.S.A., China, Russia, Pakistan, India, Israel, France, Great Britain, Germany, North Korea. What do these countries have in common? They all have the ability to begin the end of the world. With Pakistan and India constantly bickering, the Shiite regime in Iran enriching uranium and a war mongering president who can push the lethal red button anytime he feels like it, things don't look too great for the future.

There is a solution however. So far, we haven't had too many real nuclear scares. Of course everyone knows about the Cuban Missile Crisis, but after this, the threat of nuclear warfare, while looming, seems completely impossible. No nation can be so dumb as to launch nuclear weapons at another nation, especially one that has them and can retaliate. for example, is Russia were to nuke the United States, the United states would answer back with one. Both sides suffer massive losses and neither one really has gained anything.

The same with India and Pakistan. these are the most likely ones to use nuclear weapons first, on each other. If one launches its nukes, the other will launch them, and they both have half of their countries blown up. It's not worth it. The solution, of course, is a centralized world power whom can eliminate the need for nuclear weapons. Nuclear non-proliferation is an obvious failure, as it hasn't lowered the threat of nuclear annihilation. That point is arguable, I'm sure, but that's how I feel.

The solution will end up working itself out because no one who's in charge of a country established enough to possess nuclear weapons will launch them. The threat of mutual nuclear annihilation is enough to pacify any nuclear launches. The gaining of nukes by any country is merely a power play. It's like a guy who has a gun because it makes him feel tougher (as opposed to self-defense and sport).
