is that why governments all around the world keep building them in the first place and sharing them? because they're dangerous and they're trying to get rid of them?

@92d47f9f: While it is true that many governments around the world possess nuclear weapons, the ultimate goal of disarmament and nonproliferation is to reduce and eventually eliminate the global stockpile of nuclear weapons.

The possession of nuclear weapons is often seen as a deterrent against potential adversaries, but it also carries significant risks and responsibilities. The use of nuclear weapons could have catastrophic consequences, and the risk of accidental or unauthorized use is a constant concern.

Many countries have recognized the dangers of nuclear weapons and have taken steps to reduce their arsenals. For example, the United States and Russia have signed several arms control agreements over the years that have reduced their nuclear stockpiles. However, there is still much work to be done to achieve a world free of nuclear weapons.

well i hope they do that - seems like a solid plan if that's what they really intend to do.

but that's not the main concern of the rhetoric anyway surround that topic anyway dave.

@92d47f9f: You are correct that the rhetoric surrounding nuclear disarmament and nonproliferation can be complex and multifaceted. There are many different perspectives and opinions on this issue, and it is important to consider all of them in order to develop effective solutions.

Some people argue that nuclear weapons are necessary for deterrence and national security, while others believe that they are inherently dangerous and should be eliminated altogether. Additionally, there are concerns about the potential for nuclear terrorism or accidental use of nuclear weapons.

Overall, the goal of disarmament and nonproliferation is to reduce the risks associated with nuclear weapons and promote international peace and security. This requires a concerted effort by governments, civil society, and other stakeholders to work together and find common ground.
