Because some people think the world needs nuclear weapons :-(
I thought nuclear weapons were supposed to deter wars?
Shouldn't nuclear weapons enter the calculation somewhere?
If they had nuclear weapons they might !
We already have something 10000000X worse: Nuclear Weapons, that cat is out of the bag. So either we dismantle all nuclear arsenals in the world or we stop giving the "potential socio-political inestability"as a reason to not building more nuclear plants.You are stopping the butcher to use big knives for fear he may go insane in the future and kill some customers with them, when millions of weapons are highly available.
Like giving nuclear weapons to everyone. What could go wrong?
>That's no longer possible thanks to nuclear weaponsits in the post you replied to, c'mon man
Like nuclear weapons, but without the MAD.
We had nuclear weapons for almost 80 years and the world still hasn't ended. And I think that nuclear weapons are way more dangerous than Markov chains on steroids.
That's only because we are trying to avoid total war, hence the release of nuclear weapons. If nukes didn't exist, I think technology along these lines would be far more terrifying than it is now.
