Do you believe a nuke free earth is possible?
I mean, it would be nice, but like utopia, or isolationism, (or finding a single, sane, healthy childless woman my age/weight) it just doesn't sound possible with the human species. And even if they made it work, seems just a question of time before someone came up with an equally effective WMD to take it's place? I don't see how there is any hope of meeting the global warming mandates without nuclear power, too many NIMBYs are for building hydro, wind or tidal turbines, not to mention powerlines, SOMEWHERE else but denying the best sites due to aesthetics/property values, yet don't want to use less electricity at the same time. So, please try and give a serious, troll-free, rep vs dem answer. I know Obama's college thesis was on soviet nuclear disarmanent, and while the russians never comply with any agreement because to cheat is to win in their mentality, all treaties before only include ballistic missile or air dropped weapons, there is no current treaty on the developement, proliferation or sale of battlefield tactical nukes, and the russians are building and testing them right along where the USA stopped all testing. The russians, under Putin, have been building a huge underground city at Yammantau, while we have mothballed our cold war facilities and dismantled our civil defense shelters, even though the threat of losing a city in a mushroom cloud now is just as great as ever before since WW2. And before someone brings it up, the US developed nuclear bombs in WW2 barely ahead of the germans and maybe only weeks ahead of the Japanese, who tested one on the coast of the Korean peninsula right before Russia declared war on them and over ran the facility, this is why they didn't surrender after Hiroshima, they would have used them on us given the chance. And yes, the germans did fly an empty jet bomber over NYC, but efforts to sabotage their heavy water program in Norway proved more successful in disrupting their program then we realized until war's end.
