How is Hawaii not U.S. soil anyway? It is a state of the U.S. And pixie, why would every country be against the U.S.? Can you please explain to me why everyone would fight against the U.S.?

In a hypithetical situation. Dacer was saying about WWIII starting if anyone attacked America. I think if that did happen the U.S. would find it had very few allies. I was a bit annoyed at the Hawaii is a sandbox line.

@dacer

Do you have any idea what you are talking about? Mexico is no where close to developing nuclear weapons. Russia is not neutral in anyway, shape or form.

By the way, there were many attacks on US soil during WWII. They were not publicized much by the media due to larger campaigns being fought in Europe. Here's a link... I hope it works:

I think that we have more to fear from the Chinese and the terrorists than anyone else. China already has nukes, and if the terrorrists could get their hands on some nuclear waste, it would be a disaster.

The United States, Russia, United Kingdom, France, China , India, Pakistan, North Korea and Israel all have nuclear capabilities just to clarify.

Yep, I'd agree but not only Europe the battles against the Japanese are included too.

Why would they want nuclear waste? Nukes are more useful to their "cause".

Why China? Russia has nukes, and terrorists can get their hands on nukes from other countries.

The United States, Russia, United Kingdom, France, China , India, Pakistan, North Korea and Israel all have nuclear capabilities just to clarify.


Yeah, they all have the power to build nukes. Its just that only the US, Russia and China have significant stockpiles of weapons. No one knows if North Korea has many nukes but they do have them. In my knowledge France has no nukes and so does the UK. I don't know about India and Pakistan.

Well we don't use grades either here in holland but back to the point, I know some things about the WWII and i know it was different than all the other wars before, most people who died were civilians, and in all other wars it was mostly soldiers who died.

Read the rest of the thread. 80% of France's energy is derived from nuclear power, of course they have nuclear capabilities. The UK has had nuclear weapons since the early 1950s. India and Pakistan have both developed nuclear weapons albeit illegally.

14-15 years old, wikipeida is your friend.

Nukes are very hard to get "under the radar". You have two options buy one which would be ridiculously expensive or make your own which is very hard to do, since the ingreadiants for it are hard to get a hold of. Waste on the other hand is easy to get hold of. The U.S. alone has dumped billions of lb of nuclear waste in sites all over the place and unfortuneatly security is lax and barrels do float away. Terrorists can use nuclear waste to make a "dirty" bomb which is effective enough for there needs and much cheaper.

I don;t mean to sound aggressive but it is a fact those countries have the bomb any countries not on the list do not. North Korea has two bombs. Ans India/Pakistan are having a fight over Cashmere.
It is a strange fact that france is one of the few countries that still test thre bombs regularly, also strangley they choose to do it in Taihiti

Understand your point. Thank you very much.

I think you mean Kashmir, not Cashmere. India and Pakistan are bitter rivals. Pakistan rebelled from India since a majority of Pakistanis are Muslim. Most Indians are Hindu and that is a situation for conflict. I forgot that France tested nuclear weapons but they don't have significant stockpiles. The US is the ONLY country to have ever used the nuke against someone. The hydrogen bomb though, is more deadly.

russia was neutral for about i dunno 10 or 15 years after WWI and during WWII they did ALOT, too bad hitler was stupid enough to go against his secret alliance with russia, and get swallowed by russian winter, thta nazi dip**** needed to keep calm a lil more.


Russia, was sorting itself out before WWII and Hitler did betray his alliance with Russia. If Hitler kept neutrality with Russia then, I think that they would stand a better chance. Anyway, we all know that the Russians attacked Germany from the east after the failed Nazi invasion of Russia.
