That's a very big LIE,even your Islamic Republic of Pakistan nukes ,I'm still very skeptical they own some because of their Islamic terrorism tendencies.
There is no place for Islamic terrorism anymore in this world.

South Africa also had nukes...

The only country in Africa that had some under the apartied regime... but were destroyed a few years before Mandela's ANC party government was handed power.


Also Ukraine inherited a significant portion of the old Soviet nukes. But handed them over to Russia and signed the nuclear non proliferation treaty.


So there... that completes your list op!
Libya also had nukes under ghadaffi b4 it was destroyed

Only 4 can destroy the full Moscow, You dont need all of them. Just have them tested, that is where US, UK and France will top, well tested. Do you imagine why US will not like to dare North Korea?
The US will not like to dare North Korea simply because they are sane, mature, not hot-headed and not because North Korea has a chance. Geographically and technologically speaking, the US has the upper hand. They don’t have to leave the shores of the US before sending those boys into Korea but do you think North Korea has that capability as of today? grin
If it ever happens, South Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Japan and China would be the biggest victims and not the faraway USA. This is not me ass-licking the US but this is the one singular reason why the weapons must not be allowed to slip into the hands of immature countries because they won’t show the kind of restraints that have been shown by bigger countries like the US and Russia and even Israel even in the face of provocations from smaller countries that don’t have them (they can use them and nobody would dare to question them but they have never tried it since the first one was used in 1945)
I see the restraints from countries like as France, India, Pakistan, China, Israel and Korea as being fake because they aren’t using them not because they didn’t want to but because they know the rest of the world would question them and would most probably be disarmed.

[quote author=Flangelo12 post=138134897]What was the fight about?

It is easy for you to remember there was a fight but you would never tell what it was that led to it.[/quote

It was not a fight. Nobody fought.

Muslims youths decided to demolish a church because they didn't like the fact that it was cited close to centre of the town in a strategic location. Church bought the land from government with complete survey papers intact.

Chief this is my last response to you. Perhaps when you encounter them in real life you will start seeing things as they are. God has saved my life many times and I have clarity about what Islam is and is not. Cheers

Israels primary supporter is the US and not Europe.

The country with the second highest number of Jews in the world is the US. There are probably more Jews in New York city than in either Jerusalem or Tel Aviv.

They are also quite rich and have political power. At least 30% of America's richest people are Jews.

They wield lots of political power through AIPAC.

Jews also get support from born-again Christians who believe that Jews are still God's own people. They believe anything that Israel does has God's blessing.

A lot of Trump's actions towards Israel is primarily from conservative Christians. They form a huge block in the Republican party.

Nukes are mostly a deterrent as of today. Not likely anyone will ever use them no matter how mad the person or country is. Only suicidal non state actors would. Thats the real danger.

Any country using them is also likely to face equal retaliation if its used against a nuclear armed state.

Besides all that the climatic consequences for everyone are way too nightmarish.

PS: I think NK has reached the capacity to reach US Mainland with a ballistic missile. The question would be the speed and technology of the carrier otherwise it would be shot down midway. Being partners with Russia who can help them with hypersonic tech, it should not be presumed that they could not pull it off.

Nonetheless I dont think anyone would ever do it.

Over 10% of Israels citizens are Muslims.

Palestinian Israelis constitute about 20% of Israels population today, with majority being Muslims.
Re: 9 Countries In The World That Have Nuclear Weapons (Full List) by McLizbae: 7:34pm On Jan 14
Just as you can add Israel and USA to know the number nukes each has, you can also add Russias to Chinas to know how much each actually has.

12,331. That is the approximate number of nuclear warheads currently in existence. Only 9 nations belong to this "nuclear club."
Is the gap between the top two and the rest of the world wider than you expected? Which of these stats is the most eye-opening to you?

China is a very stingy country na.

They know for a fact that it's only for deterrent purposes and won't actually be used.

No 2 countries will ever nuke themselves. So, the amount doesn't necessarily matter. cheesy cheesy
