Re: OT: Nuclear War???
All we need is a psychopath that's smart enough to get high enough in political office in a country that has nuclear capability. If, for example, North Korea launched a nuke at the US because one of their leaders was a little bit loopy, what do you think the US would do?? Wait until they got another few nukes thrown at them, or nuke 'em back?? It's really an unwinnable situation, since if they DON'T nuke them back, they run the risk of having other fringe countries throwning nukes at them, since they know the risk of nuclear retaliation would be minimal. But if they DO nuke them, then they run the risk of North Korea's supporters getting involved (China) which could then easily lead to worldwide nuclear war. It will happen. It's only a question of when.
