Global treaty banning nuclear weapons adopted at UN

So what? UN authority = 0.0

seems a bit pointless really

If none of the nuclear armed countries took part, it would seem to be meaningless.

Not yet

"The treaty will be open for signatures as of September 20 and will enter into force when 50 countries have ratified it."

A nice idea on paper but in reality how could you police it, also what kind of crazy conflicts could arise when no threat of nuclear response is on the table stopping wars?

All this stupidity does is established a treaty to effectively make the established current nuclear-armed states into an exclusive club that no-one who signs it can enter in the future.

It's a sort of attempt to create am international law that makes the countries listed above the only 'legal' possessors of nuclear weapons.

I'm surprised the U.S. and Britain didn't write it themselves!

Also, at least seven European countries not listed (including the Netherlands, that voted "No") already have NATO stockpiles of nuclear weapons which can be 'nationalized' in an instant.

So it's just total bulls--t.

Totally pointless with none of the nuclear-armed nations voting for it.

I bet we don't give up our shit! Fuck the UN.

nuclear warheads create a radioactive signature that can be detected by satellites in orbit.

The world says "hey we dont want these world destroying doomsday weapons", and the owners of said weapons say "screw you world, we dont care about anything but ourselves!"

Aye aye aye..

How to reconcile these two together? Maybe we can say "okay fine, but you gots to go take out them bad guys first for us", or something, so that there's no need for them doomsday weaponry?

Hey look another empty treaty to make it appear like they are relevant.
They are not.

Enter into force, you say? How, exactly, do they plan to force anything upon anybody, I wonder.

Lol good luck forcing countries like NK. 25 years of sanctions on them,created a nice hatred to the west countries.

I have a serious question, as I am fairly naive on the subject....If we were to set out to "dismantle" the approximate 15,000 Nuclear weapons in existence what would happen to the "components" that make up those weapons? I assume they can be broken down but is enriched uranium always enriched? I have heard of depleted uranium which I assume is the opposite but then again I have read that is some pretty nasty stuff as well.

From what little I have read about the subject we at times seem to have a hard time handling the nuclear waste that we have created already. Not knowing anything about nuclear science what would happen to the uranium, plutonium, etc that make up the weapons?

It's all part of the great show. The great culling is much needed or haven't you seen the state of humanity as a whole? Time for some old fashioned junk DNA cleansing.

The survival of our species can't thrive with our idiots breeding like rabbits.

Buy iodine!

There are no such thing as nukes.
I used to believe in them until I started investigating the hoax. Go ahead....rant and rave that they are real. They are not. Big ass con job.
NOW, ALL THEY GOT TO DO IS JUST GIVE UP THE PHONY NUKES.
SMART MOVE BY THE %$#@&*^$!!!!

ussr used nukes extensively in large construction projects
like dams

usa considered using them in panama canal project

they are real, s t u p i d .

I was under the impression that several countries that possess nukes have veto power. Correct me if that is not accurate.

LOL, just like the 1930s war tonnage act, when its over the only country with nukes will be the UK

LOL! I'd like to know how they intend to enforce this? What are they gonna do? Use harsh language?

So all nuke power plants will become obsolete?

That only means the elite now have a new type of weapons.

well, that's another non-starter.
only the U.S. nuking North Korea will get
these people to sit-up and take notice.

Shut the fuck up or we will nuke you.
