"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." Albert Einstein
Nuclear weapons should be abolished globally because if nuclear warfare would occur between two or more nuclear countries it would be a lose-lose situation and could bring devastation to the entire planet. The fact that a single country could cause global annihilation with the push of a few buttons is absurd. Nuclear weapons are a constant and severe threat to humanity and wildlife. It's just a matter of time before a country is provoked to the point of nuclear warfare which would have catastrophic consequences such as: death from direct impact, destruction of most electronics due to the electro-magnetic pulse, blockage of sunlight, nuclear winter, diminished precipitation, toxic rain, nuclear fallout, depletion of our frail ozone layer and countless unanticipated events. The result would be starvation for most of the affected world due to difficulty in growing crops and the unimaginable destruction of ecosystems which could cause the extinction of numerous animal and plant species. The idea of nuclear warfare is senseless. A huge issue with nukes is that they are normally aimed a major populated areas and are therefore an attack on civilians rather than militants. It's also clear that every nuclear armed country is seconds away from retaliation if a nuke is detected in its airspace. That means that "pushing the button" is an almost certain annihilation of your country's major city centers by the opposing forces. It's essentially global suicide.
