LOL!


Is that investigation going to be wrapped up by the year 2200 ??

What, just flat out abolish it? Without renegotiating or exploiting the removal of it for our own gain?!



You should know by now that is not our style.

And for the record, the US is the only country to ever use nukes and it targeted civilians when it did.

It amazes me that people really think that nuclear weapon proliferation can truly be contained. That is a fantasy. If it's not DPRK it will be someone else. Just a matter of time before those weapons are deployed somewhere, and then all bets are off.
Basically my take as well. Once the knowledge has been obtained it is impossible to roll back the clock.

The steady advance of technology means that, along with the first world pushing forward into unknown areas of science/knowledge, over time the second and third world get dragged along by proxy (technologically, they function on the first world's hand me downs).

That technological march will only make it easier to create nukes as time progresses. Combine that with what we know about human nature from history... a nuclear attack/war basically becomes inevitable at some point (just wait till I'm dead please, kthx).

The absolute last thing the Chinese want. This would stir the pot in our favor and cost no US lives.

And the Japanese can easily afford it.
Read a history book.
