It is time that the United Nations be in sole control of nuclear weapons.

It must be a world decision if they are used and only on a country that uses them.

Nuclear weapons should have been abolished decades ago. **** both Russian and US militarism.
 
A world decision to destroy more of Earth? No.

Jesus!! NO!!!

The UN is totally ineffectual when it comes to making decisions to do anything. Hell, they couldn't even chastise Russia.

And you want to give THEM control over nukes???
 
World government is the next evolution for our politics. We must make sure it is democratic and not totalitarian.

You don't do it by continuing to "upgrade" and invest in "advanced" nuclear weapons.

Which government decides that? All the countries in the UN won't.

I know for sure the USG does. The UN doesn't seem to have the power nor leverage to get the USG to not be barbaric.

Then it needs a constitution. The United States of the World. Time to strive again.
 
I believe that scenario would have way too many variables and would open too many possible outcomes.
IF it were possible for all countries to have the means to destroy nuclear warhead missiles (Large satellites whatever?...after launch), then a plan might be able to
be formed that would prevent any country from going rogue. True, it's a little silly but it would be akin to having a personal force field around a person 24 hours a day. It would be, by all means, make guns totally obsolete. We're not even close to that type of technology yet.

No it is just politics and will.
 
A UN that has a charter to launch a nuclear strike on any country that uses them first will be a deterrent.

Which is pointless, given the UN doesn't have nuclear strike capability

Like 1984, Idiocracy, or a combination of the two?
