Mutually assured destruction is meant to keep anyone from pushing the button.

Some argue that selective proliferation can keep some regions from returning to old hostilities.

That doesn't work. Look at the world. The United States has plenty of nuclear weapons but are engaged with regular armies around the world.

The US is not the only one with them did anybody not forget about ruasha at least the US has them lucked up and are taking alot of them apart ruasas tacking them apart but not totaly sicure and the US will never use them because all of there politions hafe to anser to relection evrey so often and nucler jenocid does not look good on the balit if it was up to me just give the UN all the nuclear weapons in the whourld mabe then they might actualy stop wars for a change

If I have a gun pointed at you and you have a gun pointed at me which one of us will be the stupid one.

Would giving all the nuclear weapons to the United Nation not be the start of the NEW WORD ORDER what Hitler was all about. One world one law the Black helecopter dictatorship.

We are all stupid as more damage to the planet has occured by using nuclear power stations 25% of the world land mass is now radiated to the point that humans cannot go near the affected areas
Three mile Island
Chernoble
Japan three reactors
russian radiation dumps that contain plaind earthmoving equipment trucks covering vast areas.
And we are building more.
