I don't know. If tensions rise and America is about to pull the trigger and suddenly China/Russia/whatever middle eastern country come up and say "hi, you touch North Korea, Washington will suddenly be a nice open space.", I think America will reconsider. Many of the dominant western countries don't stockpile many nukes, and if they do, small ones, mainly because America has such a massive fucking stockpile of nukes from WW2 to today. A combined nuclear force of Iran (assuming they get that final push), Syria, NK (assuming they get that final push), China, and Russia would surely be an "errr" moment for America. |

But North Korea is semi-friendly with the Chinese, so Russia wouldn't stop the United States. In fact, they'd want this chaos to happen so the Chinese become concentrated on the United States leaving the door open for Russia. Russia always wanted Asian interests but China stands in the way. Even if Russia fired away, they would receive the same punishment from the United States. Pakistan wouldn't be happy, but their nukes are focused on India, vice versa for India. They wouldn't dare turn them the other direction in fear the other side would fire first. We may see that show soon too especially if terrorist attacks keep hitting India and Pakistan keeps becoming unstable. But it would definitely be a ... moment with the rest of the World. Europe definitely won't be happy, except Britain who would probably support the United States now that they have a Conservative government in place. Canada wouldn't be too happy, but they wouldn't do anything about it. The worst fallout is the PR, not the actual retaliation. We do have several programs either in practice or in R and D currently: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missile_shiel...ense_Initiative (scroll down) \ |

Doesn't matter about the hordes of enemies that have nukes. Only takes a number of them to F the world for everyone, including those that fired it. |

I don't really think the leaders of North Korea and Iran/Syria really care about the integrity of the world and themselves. |

On the plus side, Argentina is still a shit hole even if it doesn't get nuked. Yeah, I'm not a fan of Argentina. Anyway, NK we know have nuke(s) China wouldn't risk a war with the US for 2 reasons 1) its economy goes to pot 2) It means India would overtake them in exports most likely. Although I can't see the US desiring war with China either, it'd do horrible damage economically, although the Germans would be happy. Iran is developing nuclear capability otherwise they wouldn't have hid the secodn reactor. |

Europe's going to tank eventually. They're finally realizing that a socialist like government with many welfare programs is unsustainable in the long run. Not to mention the chain reaction of countries going bankrupt. |

If Britain remains Conservative they'll probably stay out of it. It also helps that most Brits are Euro-skeptic and the United States has done a marvelous job making much of Eastern Europe hate the concept of the EU. I'm still convinced Britain has a stronger tie to Australia, Canada and the United States than it does Europe since we're all practically the same fuckin' people.

Its a curious thing in Britain; at the moment we don't like America (I just despise Obama cos he's a tosspot backstabber) for either the War on Terror or the US's foreign policy or alternatively like me they don't like Obama. At the same time we don't like the EU but our best bet is funnily enough with a direct Anglo-French cooperation. Canada always confuses me, its like the US with a love for the Queen and some french people. Australia is mostly people who aren't just of British descent but are British through and through given a lot went over after the Second World War. Either way we've already failed in the War and terror now we've started with the deadlines for withdrawl. |
