For some of the reasons mentioned above, and some others, the situation in south Asia scares me more than Russia or China:

If ya gotta go then vaporization would be preferable. I would hate to see my family die by radiation fallout.

I agree. Two nuclear powers are on the brink of all-out war and virtually nobody is talking about it.

India and Pakistan have been going at it for decades.  Is the latest flare-up any worse than those of the past?

I'm not at all worried about a nuclear war with Russia, nor China. I worry about Iran because their theocracy believes Allah will preserve them. Those are the kind of people that you should be worried about.

I'M sure Allah will protect them right up till the first of Many Nukes begin landing in Iran and then all bets are off on Allah after that................JMHO

I get what you are saying, but I wonder if we’d really nuke them. We have a sense of responsibility that others don’t have. The thing is, if we actually nuked someone, it wouldn’t be just them, we nuked, it’d be our allies and trading partners, downwind of whatever country it was that attacked us. In the case of North Korea, that would be China, Russia and Japan.  If it were Iran, then India and all of Southeast Asia would feel the effects too. Im not convinced we’d do it. And if I’m not convinced, then our enemies might not be convinced either.  So where is the deterrent?
