The first problem is that they are messy and the radiation can blow back on your own troops in the event of an Nuclear attack. In a single nuclear attack 20 million people could die from radiation spread.]]> 2018-04-24 13:10:42 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholas_rothmeyer/7dnsydlxg5dp/wish/254802440 nicholas_rothmeyer https://padlet.com/nicholas_rothmeyer/7dnsydlxg5dp/wish/254807044 2) Nuclear Wepons give the United States the ability to defend and deter any enemy effectively. Realistically Nuclear disarment will likely never happen, for this reason the United States should hold on to their weapons that defend their country.]]> 2018-04-24 13:19:06 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholas_rothmeyer/7dnsydlxg5dp/wish/254807044 nicholas_rothmeyer https://padlet.com/nicholas_rothmeyer/7dnsydlxg5dp/wish/254812191  The Nuclear Wepon is the most effective wepon of mass destruction ever created by man. This technology has been around since the 1940’s and has only been used twice in the history of mankind. Russia and the United States currently hold the vast majority of nuclear wepons worldwide. Nine countries are known to have possession of active nuclear wepons. ]]> 2018-04-24 13:28:05 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholas_rothmeyer/7dnsydlxg5dp/wish/254812191 nicholas_rothmeyer https://padlet.com/nicholas_rothmeyer/7dnsydlxg5dp/wish/254815354 1) Nuclear Wepons Have Saved Lives- This may come as a shock but over the years nuclear weapons have slowed down the progression of war and have made nuclear bearing countries think twice about the cost of a nuclear war. ]]> 2018-04-24 13:33:30 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholas_rothmeyer/7dnsydlxg5dp/wish/254815354 nicholas_rothmeyer https://padlet.com/nicholas_rothmeyer/7dnsydlxg5dp/wish/254826016 2) Nuclear Wepons allow small wild countries to cause great devastation. The United States which is ranked the most powerful army in the world is can be challenged by a country that is ranked the 23rd strongest country acording to military strength. Nuclear wepons allow a small rogue nation to cause mass chaos around the world.]]> 2018-04-24 13:50:19 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholas_rothmeyer/7dnsydlxg5dp/wish/254826016 nicholas_rothmeyer https://padlet.com/nicholas_rothmeyer/7dnsydlxg5dp/wish/255226751 3) The bomb changes the dangers of war. If a nuclear war starts both sides loose from mass nuclear destruction. This realization will stop countries from attacking so fast.]]> 2018-04-25 13:43:08 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholas_rothmeyer/7dnsydlxg5dp/wish/255226751 nicholas_rothmeyer https://padlet.com/nicholas_rothmeyer/7dnsydlxg5dp/wish/256006258 3) Nuclear material is not contained properly. 24 countries have nuclear materials that ISIS or any other extremist group could get ahold of to create a dirty bomb. ]]> 2018-04-27 13:41:34 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholas_rothmeyer/7dnsydlxg5dp/wish/256006258 nicholas_rothmeyer https://padlet.com/nicholas_rothmeyer/7dnsydlxg5dp/wish/256011737 Nuclear wepons have evolved and improved drastically since World War Two. The last major nuclear test was when the Soviets tested the Tsar bomb which created a blast 3,333 times more powerful than Little Boy. The bomb that leveled Hiroshima 72 years ago.]]> 2018-04-27 13:51:36 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholas_rothmeyer/7dnsydlxg5dp/wish/256011737 nicholas_rothmeyer https://padlet.com/nicholas_rothmeyer/7dnsydlxg5dp/wish/256542006 4) Air Force General John Hyten said , “Conflicts of the post-nuclear age did not compare to the massive international conflicts of the first half of the 20th century including World War I, in which about 17 million people were killed, and World War II,  in which around 80 million people died. Many of the powers involved in these conflicts now have nuclear arms and the world has not seen a global conflict on such a scale since.” ]]> 2018-04-30 14:44:40 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholas_rothmeyer/7dnsydlxg5dp/wish/256542006 nicholas_rothmeyer https://padlet.com/nicholas_rothmeyer/7dnsydlxg5dp/wish/256564994 4) The U.K.’s nuclear weapons didn’t stop Argentina from attacking the British-held Falkland Islands in 1982. Israel’s nuclear weapons didn’t stop Arab states from attacking that country in 1973. Nor did they deter North Vietnam from fighting the United States. Nuclear-armed India and Pakistan still teeter on the edge of all-out war.]]> 2018-04-30 15:27:21 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholas_rothmeyer/7dnsydlxg5dp/wish/256564994 nicholas_rothmeyer https://padlet.com/nicholas_rothmeyer/7dnsydlxg5dp/wish/256569572 5) United States General Collin Powell said, “The one thing that I convinced myself after all these years of exposure to the use of nuclear weapons is that they were useless. They could not be used. This is the moment when we have to move forward and all of us come together to reduce the number of nuclear weapons and eliminate them from the face of the earth.”]]> 2018-04-30 15:35:40 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholas_rothmeyer/7dnsydlxg5dp/wish/256569572 nicholas_rothmeyer https://padlet.com/nicholas_rothmeyer/7dnsydlxg5dp/wish/256577715 Nuclear wepons are dangerous tools of mass destruction and have the capability to completely destroy the world. Now that these wepons are accessible the best thing to do with them is to use them as a deterrent for war. If countries fully comprehend the effects of a nuclear war they will likely not start a nuclear war. In a nuclear war both sides loose.]]> 2018-04-30 15:49:19 UTC https://padlet.com/nicholas_rothmeyer/7dnsydlxg5dp/wish/256577715
