Message | Ok, fine. Given that so many other nations have them, how do you propose to stop us from being bombed? If a hostile nation with nuclear weapons knows that we have them too and are not afraid to use them, they will be much less likely to attack us, as that would mean that we would both be destroyed. Remember the Cold War. |

Message | A country only needs nuclear weapons if it is going to go pick fights with other nations, are you saying that you plan on starting a fight with an another country in the name of Alduria. |

Message | Thats not true. Nuclear weapons are a deterrent, they are there to prevent a country being attacked. Given the chance of nuclear holocaust no nation is going to attack a nuclear power. |
