Nuclear Weapons: Do we need them?

Every country is fighting to increase their stockpile of nuclear armes, but do we actually need them? It only takes one, out of the hundreds of thousands that exist today, to kill a million people. Is it better to keep getting more, or just get rid of them in all.

 Keep MAD in mind..!

If we got rid of our nukes, the King of England could come here and take our land. You'd like that, wouldn't you?

Side: Yes

I believe they are needed. However, we don't need a huge amount of them. Maybe 2-4 active nukes. Not thousands. Without them we wont look as powerful.

Humanity could live without nuclear weapons for a long time. We don't need second Cuban missile crisis!!! Of course countries have to protect their civlilians, but not in this way. if people support Nuclear Weapons then they will lose thier history at all for a moment.We are fortunate that people like Kennedy and Khrushchev were able to prevent the destruction of two sides. But there won't always be those politicians who are fighting for peace. What if in the case of nuclear weapons will support policies with a different outlook on the world?

You know how we can make nuclear weapons obsolete?

Genetically modified humans to be resistant to radiation lol, give it time I'm sure we are working on it, if not some type of pill that would make us all immune to radiation, after all we are going to need if for long space travel.

Nuclear power is considered as one of the most efficient powers. It produces much more electricity than others. However, nuclear power has more negative effects affects than positive ones. It worsens the nature and all creatures living close to nuclear power station. It can me target for terrorist attacks. The water which cools the nuclear power station is also dangerous. People in the near future will suffer because of our leftover are buried and this may cause many death. It's insane to pull down all nuclear power stations but at least we should reduce the number of them to a very minimum. Some countries as Iran, Korea and Israel built nuclear weapons telling other that they will use it as nuclear stations. People should never forget what have happened in Chernobyl and Fukusima-1. One small mistake can turn to a global disaster.
