Azazel, think about the worst scenario: Some Palestinian terrorist group buy a nuclear device from, say, a former Russian nuclear scientist (I know, it's more like a Hollywood movie... Unlikely, but possible ) and uses it in a terrorist attack in Israel. I really don't know how Israel would react.

There's one country that wouldn't scare me... I think.

CANADA!

Canada is too cold to scares anyone.

I think they'd be rather stupid,considering the bomb blast would kill lots of palestinians as well... on second thought, that reminds me that they don't care.

This is really the stuff of nightmares. Israeli intelligence works days and nights to prevent such a thing from happening, and luckily, nukes don't just lie around. They demand a lot of care in handling, and can be detected through their radiation.

I suppose that if any arab country would attack Israel with nukes, the entire ME would turn into a dustball, not just that country. At least, that's what I hope the arab leaders think.

[Kuciwalker]

I hope they care.

Hmm, tough one?

Lets see: Brazil? Nah, they wpuld just have a big party around it?

Argentina? Arrogant bastards would think their nuke is too good to be used on lower lifeforms

Japan: would waste it on useless anti-giant monster bit

Eritrea: might use it on etthiopia (and vice versa), sadly, it wouldn;t change much.

Solomon Islands: their raft delivery system not very dangerous...

Turkeminstan? Local dictators would simply rename it the Trukenbashibomb and have a mural of him and it painted.


Of those that don;t yet have them, I think...well, no one really. I go with India and Pak.

Actually, nuking some city in the center of Israel, like Tel Aviv, would kill very few Arabs at all. Nukes are not that powerful people, don't exagerate their power.

I have a question:

what do you think of Neutron Bombs? are they less or more moral that regular nukes?

[Kuciwalker]

They are completely immoral. At least nukes POTENTIALLY have a moral use (not much though), if you can use them in the field without hurting civilians. But neutron bombs' entire PURPOSE is to mass murder civilians.

A good nuke has around 40 km in complete killing radius. and another 40 with 50% fatalities, IIRC. this would kill tens of thousands of Arabs in Jaffa and Lud, and will kill lots of Palestinians as well.

you can use neutron bombs in the field too. point is void.

For me it´s also the USA and Russia.

The USA because their President hasn´t ruled out their use in warfare (and I don´t trust the current President of the USA very much).

Russia, because I fear that some of the weapons could get "lost" and reappear in the Hands of Terrorists (for example because one underpaid member of the russian military got bribed and sold them under hand).
