First thought, What good is the atomic bomb or a nuke if we don't use it at time of war? Our freedom is threatened in time of war so we should use these wonderful weapons made by brilliant thinking scientists!:hihi: :lol: :usaflagwa
This question is simple to answer. With many nations having nukes, you don't have them to use them, you have them to deter the other nations that have them from using them against you. The policy is Mutually Assured Destruction, or MAD, and its existed and worked since the 1950's.
