The deterrent would be for everyone to disarm, and those whom dont have the entire world at their door telling them to take it down (and a few percision strikes against their facility)
This is totally misguided. The greatest deterrent to another world war is large, powerful nations with the ability to nuke the planet back to the stoneage. I guarantee if every country in the world got rid of their nukes that within a few years there would be all out world war. It is kind of ironic, but it is true.
Yes, because luckily nobody goes to war now.
Nobody (civil nations) will be launching nukes...when we go to war, we use moab's, daisy cutters, etc...we can make really big holes without the radioactive side effect that will end up killing the earth just fine.
World War? we are already in a world war (they just forgot to announce it). World War 3 is not done by bombs, its done by transations. Violent war is outdated...the new hotness is making a country collapse economically.
How is this done? oh, thats simple...lure a country into a unending war, say...make them proclaim war on a military tactic verses a nation (we will fight the people of terror wherever they are)...spend infinate amounts of money on bombing ants from a anthill, and voila...
The war isn't the actual place being bombed, its the bank account funding the war.

You are to be continually applauded for your little-engine-that-could spirit. Your entire argument for having 2 subs was deconstructed so thoroughly that even you admitted you're wrong. But here you are, still chugging along. Go get 'em tiger!

Once again you are unfortunately misguided. I said prevents another world war meaning a physical war. Also you are wrong about world wars being waged to bankrupt nations. Though I do agree countries to wage "war" financially that still doesn't mean violent war doesn't have a use.
For instance, what mght you do if you find your country bankrupt and unable to buy the resources it needs. You could wage war and take those resources from others.
Did you ever wonder why the USSR didn't do this when they found themselves in financial peril. Well could it be that they realised that they couldn't win that war?

Yet you don't find Aussies insisting we have nukes. Aussies don't regard the entire world with suspicion and distrust. We could be invaded and taken over in literally half an hour or less, here in Oz. All it would require would be to seize control of water, electricity and communications
In Oz, we live with these realities on daily basis but we don't let them make us paranoid and we don't suffer that 'isolationist' mentality, even though we ARE isolated

um this is just common sense fixed locations are idiotic and each missle costs a billion to maintain a year. Besides fixed locations are obsolete sicne we have nuclear attack subs. its about time we get rid of those relics.
THE BIG QUESTION is what are they going to do with the material? whatever happened to that mountain we were going to put it in? we should just dump it all in third world countries and tell them its gold or something rare and valuable. Then we get to eliminate an inferior culture and dump our waste.
its a WIN-WIN!
