Nuclear attack: What is your opinion

    Suppose a terrorist organization overthrows a government and use their nuclear weapon against another country (not yours), Now do you think that could cause a nuclear panic and everyone will start using nuclear weapon against the countries who are not very friendly with them
    Or it will be a private matter between those two countries.

    I'd say people would freak out and there would be nuclear missles flying around in all directions in no time

    They would just destroy the nuclear facilities with conventional weapons.

    Everyone would send nukes everywhere and they'd cloud the skies and run into each other, cause an ice age from the "nuclear winter" and we'd all be frozen and come alive in 3000 years or so.

    An unfounded statement followed by a quote that in no way supports what you said? You must be right then!!!

    If terrorists overthrew a government and got control of their nuclear capabilities there is no need for anyone to protect themselves by using nukes. If the threat was from nuclear weapons we could easily destroy those capabilities with conventional bombs long before the "terrorists" got around to figuring out what the hell to do and actually get some missiles fired off.

    You don't think a bunch of radicals who live in caves could walk in to a nuclear weapons facility and straight away know how to target and launch missiles do you? We would have plenty of time, Certainly enough time to get some planes over there and drop some bombs.

    I dont believe most countries would be so fast to do a nuclear strike, they would use conventional weapons if at all possible.

    I believe the US has some form of missle defense in place as does a handfull of other powerhouses. I don't believe that there would be a rush to attack, there would be a rush to defense. I think the end result would be a severe beatdown of the offending country, but nothing more.

    I do not think any country with the capabilities of Nuclear weapons would use them and there are so many safe guards in place that no one terrorist group would have the abilities to set them off if they overthrew the government. If the clod war did nothing else, it showed how unwilling countries with nuclear weapons are to use.

    You aren't going to use Vietnam as an example, are you? Because it's worth pointing out that within two weeks of america pulling out Vietnam was a communist country again.
