The fall of Pakistan is imminent. I'm sorry, but I have absolutely no trust in any civilian government in that nation. As for the army, I'm sure most of them are in hand in glove with the Islamists and only play the good guy role if it serves them to get American goodies.

So what should essentially happen to Pakistani's nukes if in case the country falls? Destruction? or leave them in place for the fanatics to use?

This probably goes into the P&N section.


Nukes will go on the black market at 5k USD a pop.

As long as it doesn't fall in the hands of any religious fanatics, I'm alright with that.

You must be confused.

Confused about what?

What forum you are in.

Well, this poll is not as much about politics as it could be about common sense.

;)

Really, Indian Hitler?

You enjoy getting a nuke dangled over your head by crazies who have no care for MAD?

Tell me about it. Naive American?

Maybe the Dalai Lama will ninja the nukes and use it to free Tibet. *cackle*

I actually agree that it should be common sense that Pakistans nukes will be compromised if the current Government falls ... of course I can't say I feel very good about them having nukes in the first place & India isn't a whole lot more confidence-inspiring.

You need a poll question or answer "Do you trust nukes in ANYONES hands?"

Answer? "HELL NO."

We should create rings and distribute them among other nuclear powers. Then we should secretly forge another ring...A Great Ring of power, the ONE RING, to enslave the wearers of the other Rings of Power.

As I recall it wasn't too long ago that India & Pakistan were on the brink of nuking each other back to the stone age ... neither country is exactly known for moderation & tolerance so I don't trust either with nukes.

Frankly if this option had been included in the poll I would have chosen it!

Sorry ... your turn to elaborate ... specifically as to how these two countries didn't come close to using nuclear weapons on each other a couple years back.

Please provide verifiable facts only.

Actually the USA & USSR spent nearly 50 years on the verge of nuking the entire planet back to the stone-age & by the way still have the majority of each others substantial nuclear arsenol pointed at each other. Fortunately for us all both countries showed (and continue to show) both tolerence & moderation over many years or you & I wouldn't be here.

In addition the reality is that immense & neglected nuclear stockpiles in the former Soviet Union represent a much greater threat then every other questionable nuclear-power combined.
