I respect these moves a lot but.. Are the Yanks going to give up their nukes? Doubtful.. and the world is pretty sick of the 'Do as I say, not as I do' attitude.

Banning nukes across the world is like banning guns in a city. Only the law-abiding will not have them. Only criminals, thugs and sociopaths will have them.

Granted, a real psycho isnt going to care about mutually assured destruction but the threat of it is a better deterrent than a strongly worded letter from the UN.

The star wars things floating in orbit around the globe should be dismantled first if he really wanted to make a start.

And Russia just announced they wanted more subs with ICBM's

I believe that will be wrong because without nuclear weapons Russia and China can invade the US without problems

And who says Russia or China want to invade the US??

Contrary to popular belief in the US of A, Russia is now a pacified nation and China is only interested in making money..

No other powers care about invasion and war except the US and UK. Thats propaganda to make you support your military and its actions around the world.

except america....

Oh crap not again. Now there is going to be a run on all the Nuclear Weapons Stores as people look to stock up before the ban takes effect!

All the best Nukes are going to sell out over night and then it will be a months long waiting list to only get a rationed portion of the Nukes you really want.

I think they just say things like this to increase business to tell you the truth!

YEAH, who is going first? This is like the Climate-thing. Why would the USA reduce CO2 and cripple our economy while India & China do nothing? Same thing. Why would WE reduce our nuke-supply if everyone else is trying to stock up? for what?

Lets look at this from a different point of view. A nuclear missile is like the bullet of a gun, there is the missile part, that is the shell and then the bullet. The last time we saw a reduction in the number of nuclear weapons was between the US and the Soviet Union, in an attempted to reduce down the numbers. Ok, I am all for reducing down the numbers, however, here is the trillion dollar question, what do you do with the part that goes boom, the radioactive material that is so toxic, that the dust could kill by breathing it in. How do you guarantee the security of such and how do you dispose of it all? Then there is the lill problem of how do you stop another country who wants a nuclear weapon from getting such? As it has been shown, with the down fall of the Soviet Union, there has been several nuclear weapons that either went missing, or the housing has degraded. As much as it is nice to say get rid of them, no one has come up with how to get rid of the nuclear materials.

And that is where the experts (who get paid with tax payer's money) comes in.

My opinion..
All WMD should be banned, as simple as that.. We have spend too much time and effort in trying to find away to destroy other human beings.
