Name 1 country that has more WMD than other nations?
They have used these WMD on other nations with horrific effects?
Do you think due to this countries irresponsible use of WMD, they should be sanctioned and banned from possessing any WMD or any other weapon that can terrorize the world such as large bombs, etc?

America has the most WMDs laying around, but we have the most need for them. Say we completely deconstructed our stockpiles and North Korea or Iran got nukes we would be completely vulnerable.
Yes, we used Nuclear weapons on Japan, but if you combined the death tolls of both Hiroshima and Nagasaki the death toll is about 100,000. We would kill that in one raid over Tokyo using Napalm . The Point is the WMDs are bad but we cannot un-invent them, so now we have to live with them.
The UN is useless and with out the US would not exist. In reality the US is the UN, we always send the most troops and most money, the UN is just a liberal idea that has failed. If you do some research the UN has never accomplished anything, ever.. Look at all the failed "Peace Keeping" missions the UN has done. Eventually they have to call in the US to fix every thing.

I believe America has the most WMD. Hiroshima and Nagasaki are examples of "horrific effects"
And no I do not believe they should be banned. Why? Because I believe the invention of nuclear arms is one of the few ways that get countries to think twice before making a decision to go to war. The Cold War is a good example of that. However, I do think that biological and chemical weapons should be banned.
The irony is that biological/chemical weapons do not consider as destructive as nuclear weapons given a very short time frame. The explosion of a megaton nuclear warhead can wipe out a city in an instant. Biological/chemical weapons kill by slowly poisoning your targets. It simply does not have the same capacity to make decision makers to think twice about their actions before using it. The recent Israili-palestenian war is a good example of this.
Peace is hard to come by. But sometimes war is inevitable and it's the only way that leads to peace. Ironically as it sounds, this is the realistic nature of "interest defined as power" in politics.

using the atomic bombs on people isn't justified. there is information that the jap have been attempting to speak a renounce and that the communications weren't known. there is credible information (do a seek and filter out) that the expert line of the U. S. approximately killing 1000's of hundreds to maintain lives is organic propaganda. it is likely one among the themes with "international regulation" in that the victors in a conflict or the very helpful are by no skill dropped at activity for any style of conflict crime. The dropping of the atomic weapons became into much less an end to WWII than the hollow pictures of the chilly conflict. It became right into a warning for use as a deterrent against the U.S.. this does not in itself make the U. S. a fascist/terrorist state, however like different imperialist powers, the U. S. has and does have interaction in state terrorism the two straight away and by its customer states. the U. S. isn't a Christian state. a minimum of no longer in the way that Iran, Pakistan and the present Afghanistan are Islamic states, or in the way that Israel is a Jewish state. that's that there is Christian hegemony and that the ruling elite are fundamentalist Christians, however the state equipment isn't in itself "Christian." the U. S. and all international locations could be disarmed of their nuclear weapons, no longer as you advise WITH nuclear weapons. an quite complete disarmament could be appropriate yet no longer likely except a democratic international government would desire to be set up.

Russia used WMD's really? Didn't know that.
Now if your info is wrong and your trying to say this about the United States, then well google things before you post them. Also I believe the world would be better without WMD but they work as great deterrents and smaller countries may acquire them after they have been "banned" which would be very, very, very, very...very bad.
For the record Russia has (estimated) around three-thousand more WMD's as the United States.

Name 1 country that has more WMD than other nations?
The USA, and we have used weapons of mass destruction horrificly awesome effects. We also give more foreign aid than any other country.

That would the be United States. Hiroshima and Nagasaki WWII. Today US has more nukes that any other country and stockpiles of chemical and biological agents. US military spending today is more than Russia, China, UK, France and the next ten countries COMBINED. Over 40% of the total spent worldwide.
Trying to impose sanctions would be futile.

I guess you think that Americans deserved the attack on Pearl Harbor that murdered over 3000 people? Or the 30% mortality rate of the POW because of Japanese cruelties? The Japanese asked for it and they got it. I will never apologize for defending my country.

That country is the USA. Two atom bombs were dropped on Japan at the end of WW2. If it was irresponsible, who knows, should they (we) be sanctioned, yes, if we do it again.

the USA. We have huge stockpiles everywhere. Ironically we're the only nation to ever use it, twice. There wouldn't be any use banning them, since others have them now. I doubt they'd get rid of them.
- Flash GordonLv 61 decade ago
yes we did use them and killed hundreds of thousands of Japanese..... but saved millions of Americans if we had to invade their country to end the war THEY started..
so what is your alternative.
sorry we have to "carry a big stick" to keep the mad dogs from inheriting the earth
