If you only had 10, surely it would be easier for your enemy to find out where they were and plan and execute a raid to eliminate these sites through commando type raids, thus being able to strike you with nukes and flatten your major cities without losing their own. It also adds to the chance...

Something i don't think has been mentioned on this thread yet, but how do you disarm all nuclear weapons capable countries? Surely all you need is one to hide away weapons and when no one else have any left, they can reveal their arsenal and demand obedience and world domination Or does this...

Cold War, Cuban Missile crisis, etc..........

And what if (very unlikely i know) the US suddenly decided to threaten our sovereignty, who would we call upon to defend us? We can't compete militarily with conventional weapons, nuclear weapons levels the playing field and protects us from such a threat (if we are prepared to defend ourselves...

I'd imagine to prevent conflict and the actual need to fight. Knives (drones) for a pro, guns (nukes) for a show - depends if they want a fight or not or scare the opposition into submission without the need for a fight. Who knows whats going to happen to the world as the natural resources run...

If we got rid of our weapons and Russia (for example, but equally it could be France or anyone else for that matter) invaded us, would the US really launch nukes to protect us and our sovereignty, or would the consequences out-way the rewards for standing by their old ally? Do nukes prevent...

We were incredibly close to nuclear war during the cold war on at least a couple of ccasions 1) During the Cuban missile crisis, Soviet subs were trying to sneak their way to Cuba but the US blockaded the island and searched for these vessels and once they found the subs, they tried to get them...

In it's short existence, how many wars have Israel been involved with a) before it had nuclear weapons to defend itself? b) after it had nuclear weapons to defend itself? Did having nuclear weapons ensure it's security from foreign invaders or have other countries that are traditionally opposed...
