Old topic about nukes

[Maleficus]

Does anyone have the old thread about Nuclear Weapons? A long while back someone posted a very informative thread about nuclear weapons and i would like to have it. I did a search but couldn't find it, maybe i am retarded or something. If anyone has it i would appreciate it if you would send it to me.

I don't want to hijack your thread but does anyone have a list of nations that have nuclear weapons capabilities? You only hear about the US, RUSSIA, CHINA, NORTH KOREA, INDIA, PAKISTAN, etc in the news about having nukes...but what about other nations? For example...does Taiwan have nukes...etc...

shurato,

Officially, I believe the list is: USA, UK, Russia, Ukraine, China, France, India, and Pakistan. I remember a good deal of diplomacy and foreign aid to get the former Soviet republics to turn in their inherited nukes. I think all but Ukraine did, but I don't remember for sure. Isreal is believed to have nuclear weapons, and sometime back in the late 1960's/early 1970's South Africa announced it had constructed a few (I think five) crude bombs which were later destroyed in return for decreased sanctions/increased aid.

Iraq and North Korea have been widely accused of trying to build nuclear weapons, but so far there is no evidence that either nation has actually done it.

Maleficus,

I remember the thread you're talking about. IIRC, it was posted sometime in September or October of last year, if that helps.

Here's a friendly bump for ya
Also, its pretty surprising to see a pisspoor country like pakistan in the ranks of countries with Nukes...but I'm thinking they developed it mainly to counter India's nuclear threat since their have been conflicts between the 2 nations. Out of all the countries with nukes, China and Russia are the only ones with ICBM's that can reach the United States correct?
