Non-Nuclear Wars in the Future?

[Bob Janova]

The alliance or coalition with the nuclear advantage will tend to use it; it would be stupid not to.

We are. If they glow then they don't need any nightlights.

/plus, with the right mutations, they'll whoop the boggyman into the ground.

And if you are on the losing side of the war, you will use your nukes to do as much damage as possible on the way down

[HHAYD]

There are many nukeholics in CN. You have to first go up to each one of them and try to end their nuke addiction. Then, you have to discourage alliances from pumping their small members full of cash to buy the MP wonders. After that, you have to convince the losing nations not to try to drag their attackers down with them with nukes.

[Sandwich Controversy]

Nukes are immoral, put this in your sig if you're down.

This, the current state of nuclear proliferation is disgusting

Barring a major regime change in the Imperial Assault Alliance (read, all government being removed) and barring a major shift in the Imperial Senate (read, completely replacing the membership), I can assure you that our Star Destroyers will be firing the heaviest of ordinances.

Unless IAA is supporing a different Star Noun theme these days, I think you mean proton.

Let's never have a non-nuclear war again in the future, ever. This one was AWESOME.

Why have we NOT done it this way in the past?

I c wut u did thar.

Also, nukes are the best thing evar, and should be used under all circumstances.

[Spanky22]

The prohibition of nukes was a tool of the powerful to insure that their beatdowns would be with as little loss to them as possible. Doing away with the ridiculous idea that using nuclear weapons is wrong is one the best things to come out of this war.

What Sal said. Nukes are weapons, nothing more, nothing less. They were only called immoral by the powerful and the pixel huggers so that people would take less damage from a smaller opponent in a beatdown. Every war from now on will be nuclear and thats a perfectly fine thing. A nuke is just a weapon. There is not one immoral thing about it.

As has already been said in this topic, imagine if GWII or the GPA war had gone nuclear. We could be looking at a totally different world today.

At least until Planet Bob discovers ANTIMATTER.

[Sir Paul]

It was after the chaos of the Great Patriotic War (started by a nuke from Emperor Tygaland) that the nations agreed to sit down and sign a treaty to prevent the use of nuclear weapons in major hedgemonic warfare. It was a nuke that brought the Pacificans into the battle (the nuking of Seattle by LUE) and a non-nuke treaty was proposed by the GATO bloc as a way to ensure future wars did not have the same level of devestation. It should be noted that the Order was one of the last alliances to leave the treaty initiated by the Southern Bloc.

EDIT: Clean up

why the hell would you not use nukes?

That would be like going to a fist fight and taping pillows to your hands first

[Chalaskan]

Nukes are immoral, and think of the children connotations bring back some memories. LOL, I remember believing that at one point.

[Bob Janova]

The nuclear taboo may have been started by moralists in CoaLUEtion (since they were on top at that time, it makes sense), but it was perpetuated under the Orders' hegemony for their own strategic interest, and now I think people see through it. I suppose that if a new world order emerges with a central power, that power may threaten its opponents with much worse terms for using nukes, in order to preserve its own infrastructure, in much the same way that Initiative/Continuum did.
