<< <<10-1000 more groups possessing nukes >> >> << No. Think one or two orders of magnitude more. Every ethnic group in every country. Every disgruntled group of outcasts, with no stake in the status quo. Every new religious sect. >> Actually, I had meant to include all those in my guesstimate. So are you a natural-born pessimist, or do you work at it? (No slight intended; my wife says for me, the question is not "half-empty or half-full" but "What glass?". But I come back to: <<You're kidding, right? So you end up with 10-1000 more groups possessing nukes and NOBODY EVER uses them????? I think you seriously underestimate the hate your fellow humans are capable of. There are people who will willingly slaughter those they despise and hate even knowing it will result in their own deaths. >> And also people make mistakes that have catastrophic consequences. Germany ended up rubble because Hitler thought Britain wa beaten and attacked the Soviet Union. Then he flippantly and unecessarily declared war on the US.
