| Message | I agree with UB. It's not possible to use nuclear arms for defence only. We will be wiped out along with our borders and people. Not to mention the fallout that will blanket our neighbors and cause enormous amount of death due to radiation. It's just not practical, as the only nations we could use them on reside on our own continent and as far as I know we are in no danger of being attacked. Even if we were attacked nuclear arms will do nothing to help our defenses, as we would be wiped out as previously stated. |

| Message | Situations can change and this will always be there as a deterant, it could possibly even prevent nations becoming hostile towards us. |
