Spreading of M.A.D is just madness

Post by Super Nova » Wed Apr 18, 2012 8:42 pm

With the end of the cold war and the Russian and US commitment to reduce stockpiles I was under the wrong impression the Mutually Assured Destruction (M.A.D) was coming to an end.

Now every 2nd tier power in the world is building missiles capable of long rang nuclear destruction in the pursuit of M.A.D security policies.

This just crazy and must surely result in a nuclear war at some point in our not to distant future.

I fear for the future of our world. What can be done about it?

What are the pollies of the world up to, this is getting more dangerous than the old cold war threats.

India to test fire long-range missile The Agni range of missiles has been fully developed in India Continue reading the main story

India is due to test fire a long-range intercontinental ballistic missile capable of carrying nuclear warheads.

The locally-developed Agni-V missile has a range of more than 5,000km (3,100 miles) and is expected to be launched in the eastern state of Orissa.

Analysts say the Agni (meaning "fire" in Hindi and Sanskrit) missile family is to be the cornerstone of India's missile-based nuclear deterrent.

The missiles are among India's most sophisticated weapons.

In 2010, India successfully test-fired Agni-II, an intermediate-range ballistic missile with a range of more than 2,000km (1,250 miles).

'Game changer'

Defence analyst Rahul Bedi says the successful test flight of the Agni-V missile, which is capable of delivering a single 1.5-ton warhead deep inside nuclear rival China's territory, will strengthen India's nuclear deterrence once it comes into service by 2014-15.

It is 17.5m-tall, solid-fuelled, has three stages and a launch weight of 50 tons. It has cost more than 2.5bn rupees ($480m; £307m) to develop.

Only China, Russia, France, the US, and Great Britain have such long-range missiles. Israel is thought to possess them.

"Agni-V is to meet our present-day threat perceptions, which are determined by our defence forces and other agencies," a spokesman for the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), Ravi Gupta, told AFP news agency.

"This is a deterrent to avoid wars and it is not country-specific," he said.

Mr Gupta said India "has a no-first-use policy", and described the country's missile development programme "purely defensive".

VK Saraswat, scientific adviser to Defence Minister AK Antony, told The Hindu newspaper that the launch will mark a "historic day".

"Agni-V is a game-changer and a technological marvel. It is a weapon which can perform multiple functions," he said.

We need to restructure the UN.

We need a new world government rather than this self interest loby group called the UN.

A world government should set the rules and policies in the interest of hanities immediate needs and outr long term survival.

One world army - for the purposes of defending our planet against little green men.

All countries became like a state in this federation.

Global government orders the elimination of all nukes at a state level. We only keep them to fight the little green men.

States (countries) that do not comply get a good arse kicking.

Elect me leader and I will implement.

What if the Chinese and Indians vote in favour of letting themselves have more nukes?

A one world government is a dangerous and foolish ideology, because there will always be back-scratching and favouritism, and deals being struck covertly under the table between richer nations to ensure they have the most political and economical pull irrespective of a "World Government" approach, you would have to be pretty naive to think we can all play happy families form a one world government then live happily ever after, The End.


A one world government would set the rules and policies in the interest of it's financial backers, brokers, investors...this and serve it's own immediate needs compromising ours and developing nations long term survival.

Australia would be raped and pillaged of it's resources to serve the undeclared super-powers that be.

However, Bob Brown begs to differ, the moron.

Have any of you read George Orwell's 1984?

Perhaps it's time you did.
