We all know why nukes are produced and held, by a country. Nuclear deterrence is not a new or unusual thing. However - what is pol's prediction for the "next step" in deterrence. Do you believe a weapon that surpasses nuclear warheads will ever be created? (Perhaps in our lifetimes?)

How would a weapon greater than a nuke change global politics?

It wouldn't because we already have the endgame of destroying the planet with nukes. Unless some weapon comes along that can eliminate an entire nation with zero warning or time to respond, nukes are the end for political development here on earth. In the future, if we manage to get off this rock, you can concern yourself with more advanced weaponry.

The next step isn't a new weapon, but a new defense. Whoever develops the tech to stop other nukes hitting their country first, will have the entire world by the balls.

I didn't think of this. It makes a lot of sense, I suppose that's why countries throw gigantic fits over missile defense systems. (Among other reasons)

Socialized nuclear deterrence. The UN giving all African/developing nations a small warhead for their own protection

That's pure nightmare fuel. Just the thought of that. WEW

Underwater nukes to create tsunamis that's what they use to make japan buy more gas from american allies
That's what China wants the South China see, to control that no one puts a nuke in there
Half the cities of China are at 1 meter heigh at most
If the water rises 2 meters they are already fucked
>>
I think biological weapons (ie weaponized smallpox) are much scarier to be honest
>>
>>134363931
I agree but nuclear blasts can instantanously wipe a city out. Biological weapons need more time.

As for deterrence - more countries are afraid of the sheer destructive power a nuclear blast has.
