Don't ever change Damo, the world would be a duller place.
I'm of the belief that they're and will continue as a necessary evil for a long time to come, because once the technology became known, it's difficult to turn back.
I know there's a lot of academic debate about the effectiveness of MAD, and the wider pros and cons, but it kept a few superpowers relatively 'peaceful'.
People have also mentioned the extortionate cost of the weapons, but for me this perversely a positive because it limits who can product weapons and...
... the vehicle in which the weapon can reach its target. The technology behind the weapons and the production of is hugely expensive, so it's not readily accessible.

The fact you didn't get who I was referring to speaks volumes

Oh I know exactly who you meant. Stop being aggro towards people who are having a light hearted joke with you and wrongly associating them with your stalkers x
Get your facts straight before you start throwing insults aroundI'd like you to name one "arms dealer" front which you can buy either strategic or tactical nuclear weapons?
No arms dealer is involved in nuclear weapons production. Sovereign states produce them via government agencies etc
The fact you made a claim that arms dealers are involved shows how misinformed you are

These islands clearly wouldnt be ok. In fact, we would likely suffer the most due to our size. The first thing that would be destroyed are all roads/transportaton and infrastructure, then you would have the lack of medical facilities as hospitals are destroyed and those that exist are likely to have been over run. You then have fuel, we have no adequate stocks of that in reserve and all of ours will need to be imported - who is going to supply us with fuel in the medium term let alone short term after they themsleves have been nuked?
Hundreds of millions - possibly billions - would die within days due to starvation/lack of water supply let alone radiation sickness.
My guess is we would see something closer to a 'Threads' style environment where 'firestorms' were the least of peoples concerns.
Overseas, Russia and the US might be well be ok, China has too many people to support to adequately deal with huge nuclear strikes, but given their attitude to human rights they probably wouldnt care anyway if hundreds of millions died.

They're not "arms dealers" are they?
They're contractors
The technology is classified and can't be transferred without government agreements also
Facts. Straight.
Mankind's most despicable creation.
Closely followed by social media and religion.

Also highlight where the "insults" were please
As I don't see any
Saying someone is "misinformed" is not an insult

Mutual Assured Destruction?
It's simple enough
But it depends on both sides being prepared to use them...and lots of them.
Tactical battlefield use though, even though it's 'localised' once the first one goes off its a worry
On balance we'd be better off without
