None. Knowing that modern nuclear weapons are much more powerful than the ones used at Hiroshima and Nagasaki... I wouldn't wish to bring destruction upon any nation. I'm sure even the bitterest Japanese blast surviver wouldn't want to wish such horrors upon innocent Americans. If anything, I would nuke the whales.

If I were a world leader of a nuclear nation, while my 'enemy' nations would be tempting targets, I'd actually make a mega-statement to the world and my constituents by nuking my own country. Particularly the worst cities. Notably Los Angeles as the first target. My craziness shall make the world tremble! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

But yeah, why nuke other countries when it'd be much better to nuke your own?

IF I could nuke a country I probably wouldn't.

IF I was forced to choose a country to nuke, then I would try to get the best overallgood out of it as possible - completely end a local ongoing skirmish that doesn't seem to have an end or take out the largest number of people possible. It sounds twisted, but causing the highest number of deaths would hopefully result in a global nuclear disarmament (not likely though cause the nuke powers would all be saying 'no, YOU go first') - failing that, reducing the population of the planet in an effort to obtain sustainability. Every cloud has a B-decay lining.

None.

I just wouldn't like the feeling of being responsible for any amount of deaths, no matter where they are, and who they are.

Vatican City, without all the tourists. And this is only because I'd be aiming for the Pope.

Aren't Chernobyl and Hiroshima more than enough evidence as to why we shouldn't nuke a country to begin with? Oh right, hypothetical situation.

I guess if I had that kind of power, I'd go full out and nuke the US. I wonder what sort of 'impression' it would leave on the world. Nyehaha.

Stupid question. Using enough nuclear weapons to wipe out an entire country in such a short space of time would not only be one of the largest crimes against humanity in history - yay for you - it would also wreak terrible, long term environmental damage on the rest of the world for a very long time. Ever heard of the phrase 'nuclear winter'?

Israel. There, I said it. I'm sick and tired of its genocidal shenanigans in the name of its persecution complex. (You don't want people to nuke either of those countries, don't make threads about this sort of thing at all...)

However, I don't think any country deserves to be nuked. If only there were a way to purge a rotten establishment without brute force...

Ireland. I sick of living here for so long. I want to go back to the British Empire. Home is where the heart is. My heart tells me to nuke Ireland so that it would force my parents to move back to England so that I may live there forever more.

You're so horribly misguided you could be a christian. Wow.
I'm sorry, what? Why a Christian in particular? Let's see you say that about Jews or Muslims.

I happen to be none of those. Just a concerned "citizen" aware of exactly the sorts of inhumane abuses perpetrated by Israel. Not that I would actually call for it to be nuked, that would kill innocent people too. As would nuking any country.

FYI, this thread is just BEGGING to turn into a flame-war. I'm honestly surprised it's managed to stay as relatively civil as it has been thus far.

To answer the OP's topic, I wouldn't nuke anyone. No matter how totalitarian the regime of a country may be, it does not justify annihilating its inhabitants down to the last man, woman and child (to say nothing of the radiation that would undoubtedly spread to neighboring countries, resulting in many more deaths from cancer, birth defects, etc).

If I had the power to nuke a country, I would just take over the planet because no government can realistically nuke me so I can just dominate everything. I reign as god-king over all.

But assuming some genie type thing tells me I have to choose a country to get obliterated, I guess I'd probably go for the Vatican.

Sealand. Sitting there being smug and thinking itself a country. That would show them.
