It is the way nations say to the world "mine is the biggest penis".
No, the world does not need nuclear weapons. They don't deter enemies, specially if they want to become martyrs, or rush them to acquire nukes on their own; they are costly and are indiscriminate on who they harm - that is why they are called Weapons of MASS Destruction.
I don't know who said it, but a good quote on the topic is: "The best way to kill an enemy is with a knife, not with a bomb". (The bomb kills those around the main target, thus creating more enemies ad infinitum).
The US possesses around 45% of the world's nuclear weapons.
While nuclear weapons have the potential to cause massive destruction, it is unlikely that they could destroy the entire world. However, a large-scale nuclear war could have catastrophic consequences for civilization, causing widespread devastation, loss of life, and long-term environmental impacts. Efforts to prevent the use of nuclear weapons are crucial for global security and peace.
Nuclear weapons have the potential to cause massive devastation, including widespread destruction and loss of life. However, it is unlikely that they could completely destroy the world or the planet itself. The use of nuclear weapons would have catastrophic consequences with long-lasting impacts on the environment and civilization.
It is difficult to provide an exact number as the use of nuclear weapons would have catastrophic global consequences, potentially leading to nuclear winter and widespread devastation. It is imperative to prevent the use of such weapons to protect life on Earth.
Both Russia and the United States possess strong nuclear arsenals with similar destructive capabilities. The exact strength of each country's nuclear weapons is classified, but they both have the ability to cause immense damage and are considered two of the most powerful nuclear states in the world.
fifth rank in nuclear weapons
Two nuclear weapons ended World War 2.
There were no nuclear weapons in WW1. The nuclear bomb was not invented until WW2.
Egypt is not believed or suspected to have nuclear weapons, or a nuclear weapons program, at this time (May 2009). See Related Link for a discussion of the world's nuclear powers.
In the most basic sense, proliferation of nuclear weapons is the spread of nuclear weapons and weapons usable technology in the world. In a much broader sense, it refers to the acquiring of capability to produce nuclear weapons, or weapons-grade nuclear material (high-enriched uranium, plutonium) by states previously not possessing them.

i need this answer PLEASE.
Nuclear weapons are very expensive. Jamaica does not have nearly the kind of economy that permits the building or purchase of such expensive weapons. And nobody is going to invade Jamaica anyway. Jamaica does not need nuclear weapons.
we did not need them we testing them at the time of (WW2) world war 2 which lead to further testing in nuclear weapons when the U.S. founded out they were so effective we did not plan for other countries to f9ind out about it so there for it is not our fault
Tens of thousands.
Nuclear weapons.
Nuclear weapons are a good thing for the United States because they prevent others from using nuclear weapons on the US. In general, the world would probably be a better place without nuclear weapons if it weren't for the fact that they lead to research in all fields of Nuclear Engineering, like Nuclear Power plants and Nuclear Physics. Since nuclear weapons already exist in the world, for the US to get rid of their nuclear weapons would be unwise. Countries that dislike nuclear weapons or even radical terrorist cells and organizations would now have no reason not to launch a nuclear warhead at the US since no retaliation would occur. The strategy of nuclear weapons preventing others from using them against the US is called the Deterrent Strategy.
