Forum:Anyone else worried?

I have seen some things in life mimic board and video games. Currently we have diplomatic tensions with China, a Communist country that has nukes, and North Vietnam who is testing nukes. Wikileaks has released secret documents that strained diplomatic tensions with other countries. Any one else worried about nukes?DrahcirAloer 05:41, January 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Nope. We have Vault-Tec to rely on for safety! Nitty Tok. 05:53, January 17, 2011 (UTC)

God now I am more worried about the worls, thanks Nitty Sgt. Chronus 05:55, January 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * But we'll have big concrete shelters to live in! They'll have all the ammenities of your modern home, and they're built by the government, so they're as safe as safe can be! :D Nitty Tok. 05:57, January 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * I already live in one, so I can tell you from experience that you've got nothing to worry about!--Gothemasticator 06:03, January 17, 2011 (UTC)

No, goverments are already working on ground-to-air missiles that can take out other missiles, and planes that have lasers that detonate missiles in air. Nukes would probably never hit the ground...unless they are already on the ground...--Drldrl 06:12, January 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Those missles have to get lucky every time. The Nukes only have to get lucky once.  Agent c 23:08, May 15, 2011 (UTC)

Personally, I'll hid relie on my Safety Box 2000tm for protection. And the best part of it is that it's fireproof!!!! --MerchantofDeath 23:40, January 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hmph. I doubt the safety of those Pulowski Preservation safety boxes. I was talking with Ms. Pembrooke from across the way last week (You know Roselyn! She sent us a Christmas card last year!) and she told me that she heard from her husband that Pulowski is using metal manufactured in Commie iron mines!
 * I wouldn't trust anything built by a Red. You might want to reserve a place in Vault 55, dear. Nitty Tok. 23:57, January 17, 2011 (UTC)

Argh, those damn commies. I'm thinking of reserving a place in Vault 106 though. I heard that it's really nice. ---MerchantofDeath 00:55, January 18, 2011 (UTC)

Well, just got my space in Vault 12, all those awards, i feel better. Sgt. Chronus 04:31, January 18, 2011 (UTC)

We MUST annex Canada!

I got nothing to worry about i got my own vault made and im the overseer so i'll be safe so book into vault 105 today cus were the best and we wont turn you into super mutants--Kanto&#39;s Champion 00:43, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

By the way Drldrl, nukes do the most damage when they don't hit the ground. --User Avatar talk.png 01:01, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

For people that think that any country has a fool-proof nuclear defense strategy, that's a load of bull. That's the point of arm races: once one country develops a defense against a super weapon, the other countries find ways to get past that defense and so on. Its a vicious cycle that's been repeating since the Cold War. I'm pretty sure sooner or later someone is going to create a super weapon that replaces the nuclear bomb, its only a matter of time.

I've been thinking that the only stategy that seems to work against nukes is MAD. Say what you will, but you have to think twice about upsetting a country that can return you to the stone age. Agent c 23:08, May 15, 2011 (UTC)

Deterrence: Deterrence is a strategy by which governments threaten an immense retaliation if attacked. (Particularly referred to nukes during the Cold War), don't worry boys, China is a scared of USA as USA of China. It's not like in the movies, people don't just use Jukes on each other every day. FACT, only 2 nuclear weapons were ever used in armed conflicts, both in Japan in WWII.Captain Underpants 04:50, May 16, 2011 (UTC)

The thing about deterrence and MAD is that the networks set up as a fail-safe system are quite easy to trigger. Russia's, in particular, is in a pretty bad way. All it takes is one crazy son-of-a-bitch to launch a nuke and, regardless of whether or not it even gets to it's target, a whole flurry of nukes are going to fly. And then when all of Russia's nukes go off, America's going to hit the button. Bam. Deathclaw now run the hobby shops. I&#39;m the best at space!

Comunnist's, a bunch of people working together, that sounds awful! NegativeCreep 08:51, May 17, 2011 (UTC)

^*gasps* we cant have that now! 5t3v0 11:05, May 17, 2011 (UTC)

I'm personally not worried, albeit... Maybe A little excited. Instead of looking how fallout seems to show the bad of the world. Why not focus on the good points? Computers are getting small enough to mimic pipboys and the Army is paying for powersuit research. (google it and wiki it, I an NOT kidding.) Our research into robotics and energies are progressing fast, and some colleges are looking into directional energy weapons to stop people safely. Plus they ARE bunkers, style active for the Great War. Raven Rock for example. I am Legacy Tech. 09:17, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

we all know that any thing the govt builds is 100% fool proof and that the people are their #1 concern..(cough,cough) now everyone stay calm cuz i got a box of poptarts we can all split till this whole apocalypse thing blows over. JimmyDreznaut017

Just reserved my spot in Vault 87. I hear it's one of the best vaults. Nothing to fear now. gears of duty
