Like somebody said earlier America wouldn't be the first to use nukes. I know their Army is not 1.4 billion strong but the standing Army is about 12 million and they can call up reserves of 100 million. 100! That's a third of the US population and there's no way a third of our countrymen can fight. Remember Korea? The Chinese would just send waves of people to get mowed down and they still ended up taking back half the country!

Hence why the nuclear option is the only viable one in the event that china attempts to invade.

well good luck fending off the world that is now united with USA, after you defy one of the biggest rules. The united states isn't some kind of lone wanderer who can take down the entire world -.-

We can't get rid of our nukes, not because we're greedy, or want the upper hand. Simply because everybody else has them. I read this thread and it's all just bashing the USA, but pretty much the same could be said about every other country. I'm tired of reading shit and people can't seem to get the point, and instead think the US is this big bad country that's greedy for power. Which it isn't, we just happen to be at the top right now, so everybody picks at our flaws. We could do the same to any other country, but we don't.

Anyways, we can't disarm ourselves unless every other country does it first, not only because we have 300+ million people to protect, but because we still follow the motto of ask and you shall receive, so if another country is under the threat of nuclear war, we would step in, and keep the conflict away from such disastrous outcomes.

So, lets get this thread back on topic, and away from bashing the USA for having nukes, and back to whether or not we should get rid of ours, and what conditions would have to be present to do so.

Totally. WE are not some power hungry country trying to take over the world. I did say nobody should have nukes but the reality is nobody will get rid of them unless everybody else does (and that wont happen. I'm looking at you North Korea, China). It is def not a first option rather a tit for tat if some jackass decided to screw with us.

No1 is bashing USA for having them, I am merely bashing on the principal that they are bringing upp, we need them because if any1 wants to wage war against us we will nuke them. That is what I am mocking, USA isn't a bad country, buuut some of the people who have ruled it have made some ridicolous decisions.

I liked having the soviet union around, they tried to keep peace in the Mid-Asian Stans. But then the US had to fund the people, because they think communism is so bad. and now its come and bit the us on the ass.

Even if Nuclear Warfare was dismantled in the U.S. or globally for that matter, the threat of  global threats like that continues, HUmanity will always find a way to destroy another, it has just been that way since Man has picked up a stick. Nuclear warfare isn't my fear anyway, Im more worried about Biological warfare than anything.
