Nuclear Nightmare

Korea on the brink of war

Douglas MacArthur was relieved of his command because among other things he wanted to end North Korean rule by nuclear weapons. He may have been right. The Koreas are on the brink of war once again and this time North Korea has a few nuclear warheads at its disposal. This is a new type of war between nuclear powers that nobody wants. That is an understatement. These nuclear weapons if used could make Hiroshima and Nagasaki look like a bad military bombing. If a bomb or two are dropped on Seoul millions could die. It does not seem possible that the DPRK will ever give up or retreat. The ultimate weapon they have looms as the scariest part of the present tension making normal battle tactics somewhat insignificant. This all means that even if allied forces managed to advance into North Korea and win tactical battles on the field this may bring closer the use of nuclear weapons. Very Scary indeed.

For those who need any more convincing please imagine the following scenario.
Israel attacks Lebanon after being attacked by hundreds of Rockets from Lebanon and Syria. The Hamas and Jihad Islami also join the fight and rain down rockets on southern Israel. The Israel defense forces go deep into Lebanon and decimate the Hizbullah army and actively engage the Syrian army. The Syrian army suffers heavy losses as the IDF in the south retakes the Gaza strip from the Hamas. Iran announces that if Israel does not retreat from all occupied Arab lands in 48 hours it will send 15 surface to air missiles with nuclear warheads. Israel says that any launched nuclear weapon by Iran will trigger the complete annihilation of the Iranian republic with millions of lives lost.
The president of Iran whose whereabouts are not known proclaims the end of the Zionist entity is at hand and that the Arab nation must sacrifice to rid itself of the Zionist scourge. Iran launches its weapons of mass destruction on Israel. All weapons are destroyed in flight except for one that reaches the Galilee killing 35,000 civilians many of them Arabs and creating nuclear fallout all over Northern Israel.
Israel counter attacks dropping 20 tactical nuclear weapons on 20 military bases in Iran and obliterating them completely. Israel discovers the bunker where the Iranian President is holed up and drops yet another nuclear weapon vaporizing anything in the 10 kilometer vicinity.
The United Nations security council meet in emergency session as a nuclear tragedy occurs like none before.

Seems so crazy?

It is not so crazy at all. North Korea will drop the bomb on the south or US forces if it has no choice unless someone can assassinate Kim Jong-il. That seems unlikely unfortunately . Iran will not hesitate to do the same in the right scenario.
Weapons of mass destruction in the hands of despotic extreme elements are the new challenges of our time. It does not take much imagination to consider what would have happened had Hitler usage of an atomic weapon. To give modern Hitler’s this option is madness.

Plain madness.
