Well, of those countries you mentioned, only four are nuclear powers. Of those four, one borders China and would be risking a "three-front" war if they engaged with the US. Of the remaining three, only one has enough nuclear firepower to stand toe-to-toe against both Russia and China.True, but imagine US, UK, France, Canada, Japan , Germany, India, Australia and others responding, so don't be to nervous, I think we can hold our own.
Yes and no. But don't want to get into it. Wish you could like and dislike somthing at same time.Well, of those countries you mentioned, only four are nuclear powers.

As for the non-nuclear countries you mentioned, none of them have the conventional firepower to stand up against the conventional firepower of China and Russia.
Overconfidence is a deadly sin in warfare.
LOL. Just find an icon, emoji, or small image on the net that symbolizes that and post it as an attached image to your reply. I think that would be hilarious. Not even sure how I'd respond to it...Yes and no. But don't want to get into it. Wish you could like and dislike somthing at same time.
If the aliens exist, want to know nothing about us, for all these reasons!I am insanely baffled, amazed, and thankful everyday that we haven’t blown the earth up (accidental or otherwise) yet. Human error alone, I do not understand how any of us are still here! And everyone is building more and more and more! Seriously, I don’t get it. Seems to me that the end result is any second of any day upon us. And it will be a chain reaction. Can any life survive such magnitude? I’m sorry to go there in this thread, but this nuclear world is out of control and I’m finding it harder and harder to find some sense in it
I agree with you here. And it is Iran and North Korea that are the really scary ones. Russia doesn't want nuclear war. North Korea, on the other hand, is willing to die and Iran wants their 12th Inman to come (though I suspect the Ayatollah is not himself we willing to die for thecause).The more made, the greater the chance.
I think India would do ok conventionally against China and Germany and France would do ok against Russia, the UK would also probably join them also. The US could just sit back on a low defcon alert to make sure it stays conventional. I agree that overconfidence is deadly and dangerous though and if what we're talking about ever came to fruition millions if not billions would die in a full scale nuclear exchange.Well, of those countries you mentioned, only four are nuclear powers.

Hiroshima: 95,000 to 166,000 deadI agree with you here. And it is Iran and North Korea that are the really scary ones. Russia doesn't want nuclear war.

But there is the problem. Nukes are getting into the hands of those who are actually willing to use them.
No, it was not necessary to end the war. The war would have ended eventually.Hiroshima: 95,000 to 166,000 dead
Nagasaki: 60,000 to 80,000 dead
Total: 155,000 to 250,000 dead
Several historians agree that it was not necessary to end the war.
