Why do people waste their time and effort writing crap like this.

“North Korea would not hesitate to use nuclear weapons.” Says who. Michael Blogger Dude reporting from momma’s basement?

[central_va]

No one. Nukes are bluff weapons. There is no country going to pull the nuclear weapon trigger first.

Who Is Going To Use Nuclear Weapons First?

I'll go with 509th Composite Bombardment Group, for $2000, Alex.

"Who Is Going To Use Nuclear Weapons First?"

Well, that's an easy one... Islam.

What if the threat of Nuclear Destruction is just a Bugaboo.

Bugaboo: anything imaginary that causes needless fright; something used to excite needless fear; an imaginary monster used to frighten children.

LOL, waiting for a host of people to enter the thread to say “THEY WON’T BE THE FIRST TO USE NUCLEAR WEAPONS!”

[metmom]

My money is on the Pakis.

Old idea. The US used them in 1945.

[silent majority rising]

The US already did. And it was devastating. I hope they are never used again.

Such a bizarre fantasy piece - I’m willing to bet that several of the mentioned countries don’t even have a deployable effective weapon.

Completely different thing to have some successful(-ish) tests, and quite another into making an actual useful weapon.

Weird uninformed blogger fear porn.

It's really pretty comical, watching fairly intelligent people insist that nuclear weapons will never, ever be used - when they've already been used. Only the fear of nuclear retaliation has prevented further use of such weapons. And that fear will not always be present; for example, a country like Israel might feel compelled to use nukes to repel an invasion by a non-nuclear opponent. And with more and more countries obtaining nuclear weapons, "plausible deniability" enters the equation; if a nuclear weapon from some unknown source detonates in some port city somewhere, what will the response be? I doubt there will be many leaders eager to commit national suicide, by immediately ordering nuclear retaliation based on guess work. And finally, there is the hate factor - some folks are so filled with hate, that they might actually risk annihilation just to kill those [fill-in-the-blanks].

The most comical aspect might be - I think it's quite likely that people who think nobody, anywhere will ever use nukes, no matter what, are likely to be the cause of the next nuclear war. They will simply push a dangerous situation too far, being blissfully ignorant of Murphy's Law and the FAFO factor...

IRAN will be the first to use nuclear weapons. Israel will be the second.
