If you could nuke a country?

[CrimsonBlaze]

I wouldn't nuke anyone because everyone knows that we'd only be screwing ourselves and the rest of the world. I am, however, waiting for the day where we will be able to 'remove' places on the world and place them in another place in the universe or in a sustainable pocket dimension.

Because seriously, people won't be able to kill each other over who deserves Israel if it no longer physically exists on the planet, and those who are willing to die for that place will not be willing to pursue the scientific possibilities of 'returning' it to Earth.

Obviously Australia: no land mass with spiders like that can be allowed to survive.

You know how using fire on zombies is counter-productive, right?[footnote]Because instead of a bunch of corpses that are advancing towards you and want to eat you, you now have a bunch of burning corpses that are advancing[/footnote] Don't you think irradiating the Australian already murderous and weird living things would also be counter-productive? Let's assume that the spiders, koalas and whatnot don't mutate and become even more deadly - natural selection means that only the strongest, most durable and (it's Australia, after all) most deadly creatures would survive. They would also be pissed. Do you want to unleash all the champion versions of the most deadly flora and fauna from Earth upon Earth?

That's why we then we send in the bears. And then to clean up the bears: snakes.

Sweden, the only things that have slithered out of that miserable hole are Pirates, "SWE?" brats and open-source using kneejerks who believe "the man" is hiding all the cancer cures because they somehow make money off it

I've been thinking and thinking, and I can't honestly deduce whether you're being serious or not. I mean, do you honestly think that those three things are the only things that come out of Sweden? And because of those things, we deserve to be nuked?

In that case, maybe I'll just remind you of some good Swedish things, game related even, since this is a gaming site mainly, that you seem to have missed.

Battlefield/Mirrors Edge: Swedish
Just Cause: Swedish
Amnesia/Prenumbra: Swedish
Syndicate (2012): Swedish
Minecraft: Swedish
The Darkness(2007): Swedish

Well.. You got to agree that SWE? is quite annoying..

I'm an American, I'd nuke my own country and Israel. For world peace. I'd have a statue in my honor.

I would build one in your honour!

Atlantis, it's out there, and I say we get rid of it.

Omg Lol!


Nine strategic nukes is all that is required to blow the planet of its axis and trigger doomsday! Would have to choose that

I call shenanigans on this, you realise that the average large meteor impact releases a lot more energy than 9 nukes, yet the earth is still here. Also in 1883 Krakatoa erupted, this was the single largest explosion in all of recorded human history. It was the equivalent of around 200 megatons of TNT. Which works out at about 4 times more powerful than the Tsar Bomba, which is the most powerful Thermonuclear weapon ever detonated by man. Again still here and still spinning along merrily last time I checked

 

[SnakeoilSage]

I wouldn't nuke anyone, I'd put it on sale. Then when Iran bought it for roughly ten times their annual GDP paid in full up front, I'd give them a box full of old pinball machine parts.

 

[Ashadowpie]

nuking anything is bad, the radiation devastates the very area and beyond the bomb hit. bomb the shit outta a building it'll break the structure, nuke a building you're creating hell for years miles even kilometers round. not cool * hugs a nature * hell the tree's in Hiroshima are finally growing healthy again!

Can't remember where I got the info on this, so I can't quote it. However, the word strategic here did not imply a particular kind of nuke, but rather strategic positioning and timing to achieve a certain effect. Its not so much about a single force as it is about a particular method. So if one had this info, one could make it happen with nine nukes.

 

[NightHawk21]

I wouldn't nuke anyone yet. I would demand a nice abandoned island and millions of dollars for a top notch research facility and gather all the world's top scientists on this neutral island in the hopes that we might actually get some shit done without stupid politicians intervening. Then I would hold the nuke as a safety measure to prevent invasion by anyone.

 

[Saulkar]

None, one more wasteland fucked for a few centuries.

 

[darksakul]

Every single country and city in the world, and Antarctica for good measure.
Let it all burn and have a good laugh while we ate at it.

Seriously this thread is the most hate laden, biggot filled and sickening thread I have ever read. Ans I browse /b/ on 4chan.

 

[Lev The Red]

probably the ukraine. it's my homeland and i love it, but it's gotten too big for its britches.
a russian ukraine or no ukraine at all.

 

[viranimus]

Nuke one country retaliation free? I would nuke one with a large enough stockpile of nuclear weapons in the hope that it might create a cascading effect setting off other Nuclear warheads in proximity, and maybe if just lucky enough the damage would seep over their borders into another country with Nukes, and that would provoke a retaliation of its own.

Go big or go home bitches.

 

[snagli]

Why the US of course! Oh don't give me that look, I'm not a big fan of you guys. There are probably countries out there that deserve a good nuking more, but I just want to wipe everything between Canada and Mexico off the map (Alaska can stay).

 

[Sougo]

If I'm given a nuke, I'm keeping that thing locked up. Heck, I would erect a country to hide the nuke!

A nuke would be the best political leverage available, better than a Hillary Clinton, Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi combined.

Tragically, having nukes essentially means you have an actual say in world affairs. If you look at it that way, can you really blame all those countries (that aren't in the G8) for trying to get them.

 

[-Adracko-]

I would nuke Antarctica of course!

Are you sure about Alaska? I mean, thats where Sarah Palin 'descended' from. I don't know about you, but Sarah Palin is probably as close to Jar Jar Binks as a human can get. Who knows what kind of creatures are breeding up there. (shivers)

 

[Athol]

I'd create a roullete table labled with all the nations of the world. Give it a spin, drop in a ball and wait for the result.

As a side project, I would also offer bets on who would get the bombing...I'd make a killing.

If you start wearing white pancake makeup, I'm getting the shotgun...

True, but destroying Alaska would require additional, more precise nuclear strikes, to make sure Canada doesn't get hit. Too much of a hassle. I'll just make sure to strap Sarah Palin to a nuke, much easier.

 

[Atmos Duality]

Aztlan, because those dudes will sacrifice you on an altar to their sun-god to ensure "bigger profit margins"...

...WHADDYA MEAN THEY DON'T EXIST?!

Seriously. I hold the nukes in reserve as a retaliatory option.
Why? Because you can't "uninvent" the nuke without undoing civilization as we know it.

I am sorry, but we cannot continue to ignore the penguin menace of Antarctica!

I hate those bastards from the bottom of my heart! They killed my mother!

the world would be better off without those damned little tuxedos >: [
