seriously, i thought this was about realism
world war is like an earthquake in california...overdue

Sorry to break your delusion and hopes for satisfying that mass-death fetish you religious types just get rock-hard over but the world seems to be operating under the idea that destroying itself is NOT a good idea. When even North Korea only blusters about using nuclear weapons yet clearly has no intention of doing so unprovoked, do you REALLY think that WW3 is going to happen among the more enlightened nations in the world? Yeah no. Even if North Korea fired nukes at the US or Japan or S. Korea, it wouldn't start WWIII. Even if Iran joined in, it wouldn't start WWIII. You know why? Because neither nation has enough nukes to overwhelm the anti-missile systems in place covering both nations for one thing, and even if they DID blow something up, the firepower that could be leveled against them by a single aircraft carrier group would do far more damage than a dozen nukes could without the nuclear fallout, China and Russia would NOT step in to defend those nations if they went rabid-dog, and they'd end up ground up and pasted.

So yes, this is a conversation about realism, let us know when you feel like joining in.
