To use them. The only reason to make something is if they will be used in certain circumstances: <Why develop nukes? They are worthless as offensive weapons because no one dares use them.>

They aren't useless as offensive weapons. They work a treat. There has already been a nuclear war and the USA won it and the people who were bombed surrendered unconditionally.

With atomic bombs, it's very easy for Iran to conquer any non-nuke country in the vicinity.

MAD is theoretically a stable situation but it's not. It's only stable until it isn't.

New Zealand Prime Minister John Key and USA President Barack Obama both think it's a good idea to get rid of nukes and that is the only way to be sure of not having somebody pull the trigger. It's far better to not want to fight than to be too frightened to do.

My neighbours and I get on together because we want to get on, not because we have a balance of terror among us.
