I don't know. I think it is a lot of adieu to make weapons in which it is stupid to use, in the first place. Oooh, nuclear weapons, when the very people they are trying to threaten with them is too close. It's amazing how people will repeat the same mistakes because they can't learn until they do it themselves. We already learned quickly about the futility and self-damaging effects of nuclear weapons, but some people don't realize that by far nukes are a double-edged sword, except worse. Imagine the double blade also being the handle. Its use is like some desperation act of taking your enemies out along with yourselves.

The weapons they want are not surgical with harmful effects that not only carry in wind, water, and soil, but possibly have half-lifes. And if they do use them, the effects will probably bleed into their own country and kill their own people off.

Or they just want some trophies to sit by doing nothing, but costing them loads of money to make, just to have a local health hazard, with hopes that nothing leaks into their water or other supply lines. I don't know. It sounds like somebody declaring to the world that they wanna commit suicide. Like the above poster said, it's like wanting a grenade when everybody is in the telephone booth with you.
