Yes it serious issue my friend. I think maybe they plan making World War 3, and make sure they win this time. I hope in Indonesia we will never have Nuclear even for electricity, because I still remember what happen in power plant ion Chernobil Russia.

This is also something that I can't understand about umna nature. We feel unsafe and unsecure with each other. Instead of building or inventing something that will benefit all human race we invent something that will finally cause the destruction of human race. I just hope that time will come that this will stop and come to an end. In every corners of the world there are sufferings. People and even children as young as infants are dying because of senseless wars, diseases, poverty and hunger. That's the reason we can't blame if some people feel hopeless about human race. If this would continue it would also be us who's going to put the entire humanity in damnation and extinction.

Hey siliguri! I wish that no one would have to compete for Weapons Of Destruction, but in the world we live in today we all have to be ready! So, if one country has them, we had all better have them and be ready! Although, if we all use them and blow each other up then no one will be left anyway! It is a subject that I really don't like to speak of, don't agree with and wish we didn't have to deal with, but since it is out there and we have virtually no choice then I suppose that we all just better be ready just in case! And I think that this is a very sad outlook for our future and hope that none of our countries ever has to use them!

I think, from my own point of view, the main reason is because they are afraid that someone has better and more powerful weapon than themselves. So, they tend to build a much powerful and destructive weapon. Like USA and China, if the Chinese government can create a destructive and powerful weapon, USA on the other hand will create a more powerful and more destructive weapon, 3x more powerful. The root is FEAR, that someone is more powerful than each other so they tend to create more powerful, more destructive, more dangerous weapons.

Because each country try to be the leader and dominate the whole world. They like to compete or a matter of competition when in fact when all the powerful armaments are finished to use for destruction nobody won all are loser when it comes to war.

For some it's just a matter of money and for some it's a matter of having power. They continuously make weapons cuz they know they're gonna get paid for it in a very high sum. And those who pays for them wanted superiority even if they don't say it. It's just to show that they have stronger fire power than others.

There was a small article many years ago, the gist of it was whether you finish off a country with a few bombs or a few thousand it makes no difference as all weapons of mass destruction cause untold havoc on the effected country.Its not only China and America who are showing off their prowess.Several other like India,Pakistan and Israel too have nuclear arms capable of a lot of destruction.Iran also wants to join the nuclear bandwagon.North Korea is a proliferator of nuclear arms and missiles.Unless everyone decides to eliminate these weapons there will be mutual distrust.

Human nature really. If one wants to not show any sort of superiority or desires, one denies that own existence. To be able to prove you're better than another is simply a matter of self-pride. It's true, why do you seek money? Because that makes you better off than being a bum on the street, yes? Because it lets you get things to live a better life than them. Why do you offer money to them then? Pity. Pity is a matter of showing your own strength to the mercy of others. Oddly enough, even though one is showing compassion, in the end of it all, it is anything but.
