So they don't like the Abolition of Slavery, the Industrial Revolution, Public Amenities, Sewers, Publice Education System, Electronics, Computers, ..... Need I go on? On an unrelated note.... Have you seen the White Dwarf 40th Anniversary model of Grombrindal yet? He's wearing Mk XXXXXX (Sics-ecks) power armour.
But that is why we have them... We have them to have the possibility to use and the will to use them in a situation that requires it such as being nuked ourselves. No one wants to use them but they're a defence/insurance policy. I don't intend to have my house burn down but if such a thing should happen I can respond accordingly. Someone who can get away with stealing or whatever will do it because they believe they won't be caught/punished. MAD ensures that certain actions will be treated with the sense of if you do something you wrong the world will be destroyed. You know what I will not do that and I'll calm the fuck down. Now when people say if we disarm our nuclear weapons everyone else will, they're retarded. The world isn't shying away from them, they're trying to obtain them, Iran and North Korea are the clearest examples of it and sure, you think Trump isn't the soundest man in power but you know something, he isn't in control of a country of Zealots who want to kill non-believers and then end up being just degenerates or is treated as a living god and won gold in Olympic sports and broke world records and then demanding that everyone adhere to these three hairstyles.
Yep and it keeps the country safe. Along with their allies. In the modern age, having nukes forces other countries to take you seriously. Why do you think no one has opened up a can of Whoop ass on N. Korea? or why Iran is SO obsessed with "building a nuclear reactor". Not only does the bomb make a great offensive weapon for obvious and direct reasons, it also makes a great DEFENSIVE weapon indirectly. Using fear of complete annihilation to ensure that the opponent's nuclear weapons will not be used. It's not a hostage situation so much as it's a Mexican showdown between a couple dozen countries. That is why America, like everyone else, does not go dropping bombs on whatever they please. If we didn't have that looming threat over us, We would have a lot more wars than what we do now. It's the "world peace" you wanted, just it's made by tyrannical fear instead of love and tolerance. On a side note, America is more composed of ethnic variety than any other country since they have been taking pride in doing that since at least the 1920's. SO HOW THE HELL IS IT ETHNIC CLEANSING IF THEY THEMSELVES FEATURE THAT ETHNICITY?! And odds are they WILL feature that ethnicity WOULDN'T THEY HAVE TO BOMB THEMSELVES?! THINK BEFORE YOU USE WORDS LIKE "Ethnic Cleansing"! fucking Canadian. Up until now I had no idea racial stereotypes still exist in the 40k universe........nor that the Word bearers employed them. See? There's no reason to have a nuke. Why would you want one when you could go on a crusade to retake the holy land?

With nu.......oh, but if they have nukes......no that won't work.... Economic sanctions? That might ork if some countries wouldn't LOSE money from them....
I miss Johnny Ball! Between 1978 and 89 he did a slew of Science and Maths shows for kids in the UK.

No they don't you retard. Mexico, Russia, N. Korea, America HATES these countries. So why aren't they bombing them? because NUCLEAR DETERANT! FEAR is what keeps countries from bombing each other. You wanna know why America keeps dropping bombs on the middle east and getting away with it? Because the middle east is too stupid and needlessly hostile to every country of the west (and east) to make any tech more advanced than the tanks they buy from Russia. They are very VERY stupid and therefore easy to manipulate. Like what Russia is doing now.
Considering we don't have that many... I don't think I am suitable to respond to that... But more can never hurt your position, if I said America has 1,500 nuclear weapons at her disposal that doesn't weaken her if anything it strengths the fact that if they wanted to they could level the entire planet with nuclear fire and then some. If someone said I'm going to nuke Iceland because fuck Iceland then you'd have strong condemnation from everyone surrounding there because depending on where the jet stream and what not takes it will fuck over everyone else. It also helps calm the situation down when I've got a gun pointed at you and you've got one pointed at me. Even if let's say America did think "We can kill everyone and then be the only ones left." That wouldn't work. The fallout would hit America like a hurricane and throw them into anarchy. Well I don't know about Mexico, I just get images of South Park's MASA when thinking about the rockets they'd have. Russia, definitely, without nuclear weapons they'd have probably already slugged it out. N.Korea eh, more China...
