05:20 pm - Poll: Going nuclear


In August 1945 the only two nuclear bombs used in warfare were exploded. Since then there have been many nuclear explosions and many wars and battles, but the two have not combined again. There have been close calls, but so far the world has been fairly lucky.

I asked about this in 2006 but it seemed about time to ask again and see how much, if any, things have changed.

Poll #3221 Gone fission
Open to: All, results viewable to: All

Who will break the nuclear peace, such as it is? That is, who will fire the *first* nuclear shot?
