Connor Giles, my apologies for the O at the beginning of your name. Hope I got it right this time.As far as Greed goes, Yes I agreed with you and stated that Greed was the Primer.
No problems bud - just messing with you , call me what you like
However, I do not agree with you that when one starts they will all start. Most likely it will begin and escalate in the middle east with Iran, Pakastan and Israel being at the forefront of the crisis. Should Iran keep their word (the trigger) and try to annihilate the Israeli people, Israel will respond in kind. I hope that Pakistan will refrain from entering the fray but who knows who their government is loyal to. I see no reason why any other Nucs should be fired since this area will become unlivable and its oil unusable. China, Russia and the USA all fully know whats happens in a Nuclear war, NO ONE WINS.
And this is where our opinions part ways , i believe there are too many allies/secret allies in this world for just a one off nuke - if we nuke one country - sure as hell they'll have an ally that will bomb us and then back and forth until extinction.
and by the way just because we know the repercussions doesn't mean we wont be targeted ?
as far as we know we could be the first to be targeted , and if one is fired at us , surely one shall be returned and so forth until the ultimatum i explained earlier.
HOwever, the Islam/muslim faith in this reagion believing the this is what their God wants them to do have no idea what being hit by a Nuclear bomb is like so they will be the first to fire.
I think this may be a case of someone whispering in their ears at night doom theories. Because what person in the right mind or be it a god wants to nuclear bomb its creations? I'm not religious but my word that is a silly idea.
If Iran withholds their Nuc. (when they get one), it will shift the balance of power in the region. Saudia Arabia will have to have one, Egypt will have to have one, etc. etc. etc. This will bring in the US, Europe, Russia and China all on different sides. The reason. OIL. If nucs go off, the OIL is unusable. Europe will suffer and who is going to try and pick up the pieces. In the mean time, while everybody is dealing with the middle east, the far east becomes active and boom, you have a world war. All in the name of a Islamic Caliphate who is supposed to bring the end of the world to bear.
Now this is something i get agitated about , why create something so destructive that once everyone has one its almost certain the end of the word. Why build WoMD's? as said before Greed for power, " I'm the one with the most nukes so i have the most power, bow to me" . Silliness will end this species and it has brought it upon itself. Good Riddance to those who created these attrocities.
While I am not a Sadist, I do not believe looking at the world thru Rose Colored Glasses. These glasses and the people who wear them will be just as much at fault as will the trigger, when and if it is pulled.
I am in the same boat, i do not see the sun shining out of the darkest places in a matter of speaking. It's a huge case of karma in my thoughts, Build the best weapon - die by it. "Live by the sword , Die by the sword".
Think of the bully at school. Sometimes he would want your lunch or your sweater. Maybe even sometimes he wanted your lunch money instead of your lunch but in the end he was just a bully and wanted power over you
And why would he take your lunch or money? GREED, he took your money , thats great but now he comes back for your lunch even though he has already eaten his... he got enough money from you to buy lunch but yes he wants power from you because hes greedy and cannot sustain himself on the spoils he captured from you the first time.
I agree Power is a big benefactor in war now a days but i do not believe that it is not funded by Greed because in the end - if we weren't greedy we would all stick to our own countries and live in peace.
