Will we soon witness the world’s first nuclear war? Following nuclear-armed India’s attack on nuclear-armed Pakistan, media outlets all over the globe quickly published stories about the possibility of nuclear war. In fact, this morning the main headline on the Drudge Report was “WORLD HOLDS BREATH” in all capital letters. Yes, it is entirely possible that a nuclear war could erupt between India and Pakistan. But will someone else use nuclear weapons first?
In the Middle East, a showdown is looming between Israel and Iran. We know that Israel possesses nuclear weapons, and there are some experts that are convinced that the Iranians have also acquired nukes. If an all-out war erupts between Israel and Iran, I have a feeling that both sides will be forced to show what cards they are holding.
If the Iranians do have nukes, they may have gotten them from the North Koreans. If a major war erupts on the Korean peninsula, and that is a very real possibility, the North Koreans would not hesitate to use nuclear weapons.
In Europe, the conflict in Ukraine definitely has the potential to go nuclear. The Ukrainians have targeted Moscow with drone attacks for three days in a row, and they are threatening to attack Russia’s Victory Day parade in Moscow on May 9th. If that happens, we are being warned that Kyiv could be wiped “off the face of the Earth”. Let us hope that the Russians will continue to resist the temptation to use tactical nukes against Ukraine, because if that line is crossed any hope of peace with Russia will be completely gone.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Then there is India and China or India and Pakistan.
We already dis
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?
No one. Nukes are bluff weapons. There is no country going to pull the nuclear weapon trigger first.
The entire article is summed up in the second paragraph when he wrote … “I have a feeling”.
We already did.
Well, we did. They’re bluff weapons till they’re not
WWII was a one-off demonstration. The exception that proves the rule.
Create a scenario were any country gains an advantage or victory firing the FIRST strike nuclear attack at their enemy. Go ahead this ought to be good.
I'll go with 509th Composite Bombardment Group, for $2000, Alex.
The United States pulled the nuclear trigger first. Of course at the time nobody else had them and Japan was already on its last legs. The weapons since have become even more destructive with fusion . So big , in fact , that they are limited to 20 Megatons because anything bigger simply wastes its energy going up into space.
Read an article recently (I’ll have to try to find it) about a 1980’s/Reagan era war game played. We (USA) played against (Soviet Union - with our side playing Soviets) in which a typical Cold War scenario (Soviet move on Europe) escalated quickly from non-nuclear weapons, to tactical battlefield nukes, to theater nuke, to full-scale MAD in a very short period of time. In fact, the last communications between Caspar Weinberger and the team playing the part of the Soviets, was, “See you in hell”….as they launched.
Countries gain enormous advantage by having the THREAT of nuclear weapons. Russian politicians threatening the use of nuclear weapons frightened Sweden and Finland to join NATO to get under the U.S. umbrella.
Eisenhower ended the Korean War by threatening the use of nuclear weapons against China.
(No one)
Keep an eye on Iranian Twelver Shia Mullahs
in case they succeed in developing
a functioning nuclear weapon
I say they will not hesitate but
may wait until they have several
in their inventory
My guess is they’ll sail one
into some harbor or use a passenger
jet disguised as civilian transport
Hope I’m wrong.....
It would be like two enemies handcuffed to each other and one pours gas on both of them. Then claim they are going to light a match. Ain't ever going to happen.
“The weapons since have become even more destructive with fusion.”
A hydrogen bomb is set off with just a plain old nuclear bomb. I once read what happens when a hydrogen bomb hits a city. The most bone-chilling thing ever written. It is really beyond human comprehension.
Never say never. Hate is a powerful thing. People kill themselves all the time out of pure hate.
Well, that's an easy one... Islam.
