According to the BBC News report 'North Korea 'has miniature nuclear warhead', says Kim Jong-un', we are told that North Korea has been developing its nuclear weapons in order to improve its own military power. It is still doubtful in the invention of such weapon as there is still no concrete evidence to support the creation of North Korean's miniature nuclear warhead. BBC News also says that if this invention of miniature nuclear warhead is real, it might be a threat to many countries in the world.

My Yes/No question is:
Should all countries in the world have rights to access to nuclear weapon?
My answer is:
No, it should not. There should not be any nuclear weapons on Earth. Nuclear bombs are highly destructive weapons that can cause hundred thousands of lives to disappear in an instant and millions are being radiated by the harmful ray. Innocent lives should not be risked in a war between countries. Take for example, during World War II, 'Little boy' and 'Fat Man' are used to destroy Hiroshima and Nagasaki which kill approximately a hundred thousand people. As lives cannot be created again like how the city is renovated, it is vital for the world to demolish all the nuclear weapons. However, I believe this cannot be done even though the United States ask North Korea to abolish nuclear weapons. But who will just follow United States demand blind when the U.S. still have nuclear bombs in his country (might have even more than North Korea). Thu, this matter should be concerned globally as we do not know when the use of nuclear technology will harm humanity as a whole again.

Non makes a good argument. I'm pretty sure the US has a lot more, thousands more, nuclear weapons than North Korea has, as do both Russia and China. Other countries have far fewer - I don't know the numbers, but I'm sure a quick Google will tell you if you want the actual numbers.
ReplyDeleteGoogle is great for quickly getting the numbers that you might want to give solid support for or against an idea.
When I first read your question, I totally agree with your answer that all countries should not have right to access nuclear weapon.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine how awful of this world if every countries have nuclear weapon in possession and ready to fight with each other all the time, it will be the world which people live with afraid all the time.
Yeah, I couldn’t agree more. I would not support the nuclear weapon for war or other related purposes due to the similar reasons to Non and Ae.
ReplyDeleteYet, I would not deny the project about nuclear power. Why? From my point of view, energy problem is critical issue for today and future world. Sometimes, I am concerned about its nuclear hazards if there is wrong in nuclear power plants; however, this is an alternative method which produces a large amount of energy. What we should worry would be how to effectively manage and control the nuclear power plants for safety and security of every life and environment in the Earth. Thankfully, the existing plants have been doing that very well.
Whilst I agree that it would be better that no country had these weapons, just as it would be better that no country had and used the weapons that the US, Russia and Syria, for example, are currently using to kill the people of Syria, it will take a lot of international cooperation to get rid of them.
ReplyDeleteAnd as long as one country has them, it's probably better than several have them to keep each other under control. Unlike the US, the communist Soviet Union and communist China have never used their nuclear weapons against an enemy, and it's plausible, I think, that their having also stopped the US from ever using nuclear weapons against another country.
More cheerfully, over the last few decades, the major nuclear powers have made great progress in reducing the numbers of nuclear weapons they have and cooperating to ensure that other nations do not get them. The country that worries me the most is Pakistan, because it's very religious, and religion often motivates people to commit monstrous evil, as the Christian Bible tells us repeatedly.
I agree with Non that no country should be holding nuclear weapons as it would be pretty annoying for other countries and it would cause other countries to claim the right to hold them as "defensive weapons". As Peter has already mentioned above that it would be better that no country had it, this is clearly supported by what I have stated above. Furthermore, those weapons should never have been invented and introduced to the mankind.
