Do you agree with the production and use of WMD?

Sure, if the nation using it is over 1 month old.

We agree with production, but not with use unless the circumstances are extreme.

I have a strong WMD manufacturing industry.

We make a profit by selling WMDs too nations so.... yes

WMD's aren't as All-Devastating as people make out.

Nuke on Nagasaki including later cancer related deaths: 170 Thousand.

The firebombing in tokyo alone: Over 200k

See the difference.

well that nuke only had the equivelent of 22,000 tons of TNT going off...todays "city-bustin" nukes go from 200,000 tons of TNT all the way up too a whoppin 25,000,000 tons of TNT. Plus the terrain of Nagaski didnt allow the bomb too destroy as much of the city.

How does that change anything? Terrain doesn't always go as planned for maximum destruction with WMD's.

The crux of the matter is, why do I need to make a fireball hotter than the core of the sun when i can drop a mix of thousands of different bombs for less cost reaching a temperature of about 2000 degrees (theremite temp) and leave the land ripe for invasion and occupation.

The whole thing about WMD's is their dramatic effect, their visual display of total annihilation, not so much the amount of deaths they cause because you don't need to vaporize a person 4 times over to achieve your objective.

Hey, if they work, and other people have them, then use them! Lol.

Agreed.

Nukes etc. are good to warn people, and if nothing else works, it's better to launch em.

Catholic Europe does not agree with certain WMD production. We feel that production of nuclear WMD's is wrong and should be banned.

Catholic Europe: What WMDs do you agree with?

After much thought, we had decided that all weapons of mass destruction, which are not conventional missiles or bombs, we do not agree with and will not put into production.

Catholic Europe: Nuclear arms are the cleanest WMDs by our opinion, and the least disgusting, which is why they are the mainstay of our WMD arsenal.

Catholic Europe: Mmm. You must not like us much then. We don't have any nuclear weapons, but we have biological and chemical weapons, as well as several futuristic planet-destroying weapons in our space fleets.

Well, I must say that I am disappointed (however, we do not recognise the futuristic planet-destroying weapons as Catholic Europe keeps to the present).

However, they, by far, cause the largest and most sustaining damage.
