Does the USA still have nuclear weapons?
Question:
Answer:
yes
yes the us has nuclear weapons.and one reason we tell iran and north korea to destroy them and not make them is because north korea is communist and iran has alot of terriorest orgainizations.
The US (and Russia, China, UK, and France) aren't crazy enough to actually use the nuclear weapons they own. Iran is.
Think of it this way:
An adult tells a kid he can't have a gun. It's not hypocritical if the adult has a gun, because the adult wouldn't use it unless he abolutely has to. The kid might use it to kill some other kid they don't like on the playground.
America sticks its nose in a lot of places where they shouldn't and then act like it's their god given right. It's a proof of their arrogance.
I mean, seriously, who does America think it is?
They can do anything, but others can't?
of course, USA will not use these weapons to start a world nuclear war, iran just might.
Yes the US still has Nukes - I actually worked at a nuclear base when I first came into the military. It is not just the US that is saying Iran shouldnt have them its all the countries in the UN. It basically comes down to the trust factor. The US has been placed in a position to where other countries know that we would be responsible with them. Do you really think they have any reason to trust countries such as Iran and N Korea...
Yes. They do have nuclear weapons and WMDs. They don't use it though.
When an Iranian bomb explodes in New York Harbor you'll change your tune..
I believe we've downsized our nuclear weapon program...
Iran *is* crazy and would use theirs.
they do have them , but not aloud to use them , any county in the u.n(no 3'd world countries) can not use them .

yes we do have nukes. submarines and some planes as well as land based missile launch pads. A nuclear class submarine can run for 30 years w/o being refueled. an aircraft carrier can go 50 years. That is without one nuclear mishap. that is what i call fuel efficient! As for your remark about us being hypocritical for having nukes, we have never threatened to take Isreal off the face of the map! Our nukes are a deterrence. We won't attack a peace loving nation just because we disagree with them. Now we will attack a dictatorship with conventional weapons, which is the right thing to do. would you want to live under a tyrant where you had no say in the government? In USA you have the right to argue. Iran does not have this right. they have openly defied the right thing to do for their own people. N. korea spends just about everything they have on military spending while their people are destitute. They can't leave or they will get shot. America is not anything like that. Please don't insult every veteran by insinuating that we are like our enemies! Thanks for your question commie!
Yes it sure does.More than 1000 I think.
all i know america is the only nation to use these horrific weapons
Let me get this straight... You advocate sitting down and TRUSTING the Iranians regarding the development of nuclear weapons. In effect giving them our secrets because they sure as hell don't have any we need. Also there are still some of us old guys (and 52 really isn't old) who remember when the Iranian student (terrorists) illegally entered and took control of the US Embassy in Iran.which under international law was USA sovereign territory. I was serving as an Army officer at that time and every man I served with where willing and waiting for the command to load up and rescues our people even if it meant turning Iran into a parking lot. And these "student" with their Islamic radical leaders claiming they couldn't interfere held US citizens for 444 days. And 8 brave American service members died at Desert 1 attempting to free them when President Carter failed to take command of the situation.
Sit down with the Iranians, especially when their new president was one of the "students" who held Americans hostage? Are you insane?And that is a rhetorical question. Iran wants only one thing the ability to produce nuclear weapons and not power, and to wipe Israel of the face of the planet...his word, not mine.
Join the real world. Maybe someday we will be able to do it your way.
Yes, the U.S. believes it should be the only country on the planet to be trusted with nuclear arsenals. It's hypocritical, two-faced, and redundant. Oh, everyone says, the U.S. can be trusted not to use them, but Iran's crazy dictators will! That's so much b.s.
What makes people think George W. Bush - or some future lunatic we elect as a war-mongering President - isn't crazy enough to use nuclear weapons of mass destruction?
The U.S. is the ONLY country that has killed innocent people in another country with weapons of mass destruction. What makes people think we won't do it again if the circumstances are right, or if some madman becomes President of the U.S.A.?
Politicians are all wackos, anyway, regardless of which nation they rule. And they're also human beings (or sub-humans) who have emotions and sometimes personal agendas (we illegally invaded Iraq because George Bush has a personal vendetta against Saddam Hussein, and because Cheney covets all that OIL swimming underneath Iraq's sands).
There's a serious trust issue here. Other nations don't trust the U.S.A. and its warrior bullying tactics, so they want their own nuclear weapons as a defense against the world's newest "evil empire" - the United States of America.
So, if America is so gung-ho on spreading peace through out the world, why doesn't it take the first step and destroy its own nuclear weapons inventory? Why doesn't it agree to share the Earth's resources more equitably (right now, we're only 5% of the world population, but we squander 55% of the world's natural resources). Why doesn't it propose a world-wide ban on nuclear weapons? Why doesn't it dismantle its huge (and hugely profitable) military-industrial complex?
Why does the U.S.A. always have a fight to pick with someone on this planet? After World War II (a legitimate war that we needed to win) there was the Korean Conflict, the 'Cold War', the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War, and Desert Storm. Why? Because WAR is what keeps companies like Boeing, Halliburton, and McDonnell-Douglas profitable!
It's nonsense to assume that the U.S. won't attack other nations as we continue our dependency on OIL. If the U.S.A. really wanted to spread democracy, why isn't it invading all the other dictatorships ruled by evil despots? Because they have no easily-accessible OIL.
By spring, 2007, Bush will have invaded Iran for the very same reason he invaded Iraq: OIL. Pure and simple. -RKO-
Yes we do and we use them too.
YES THE U.S. HAVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS EVEN RIGHT NOW THE U.S. HAS BOOMERS A BOOMER IS A SUB THAT CARRIES NUCLEAR MISSILES AND CAN LAUNCH THEM 24 HOURS A DAY AND 7 DAYS A WEEK ON A MOMENTS NOTICE AND THEIR OUT THERE SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD'S OCEANS WAITING FOR THE ORDERS TO LAUNCH THEM.WATCH THE MOVIE THE CRIMSON TIDE
Are you one of the kids on the short yellow bus? This is one of the dumbest questions of the day. Nations than practically float on Oil do not need any Nucs or wind mils..
yes,and we might use B-61 tactical nukes in iran
