I have just two questions: How can a non nuclear country be defended from a nuclear attack? By the time the AA can respond, half of the nation under attack would be nuclear rubble.. And Can a country that signed NuSPIA still be able to use radiation to kill cancer cells? Edited by Lomarre, Jan 9 2013, 09:11 PM.

People usually don't just fire off nukes. There are warning signs (generally aggressive behavior) and there are protections in place. We, as the US, can shoot down inbound missiles. I don't see why a similar system couldn't be provided to a NuSPIA country. Nukes also take time to travel to their destination, so it could be intercepted or prematurely detonated without incident. I'm not really sure why you're assuming the first step in a war is going to be the firing of a missile. There plenty of examples where Russia or the US actually believed it was under nuclear attack and resisted returning fire because the people involved didn't want nuclear war. Secondly, why are you assuming there would be multiple inbound missiles? Hell, if I saw one in the air, I might ignore it; if I saw more than one, I'd assume I was next and fire off mine. That's how MAD works. Setting off multiple missiles would be suicide. However, I assumed if a signatory got into conflict with a nuclear nation, the NPA signatories would have its back if peace negotiations failed. If a bomb was actually detonated in a signatory country, the NPA signatories would be bound to go to war with the aggressor. As to your second question, no, at least not from a nuclear source. There are non-nuclear sources of radiation that are legal. However, from a OOC perspective, I think we've let it slide and swept it under the rug if someone has nuclear medicine because of the OOC rationale for the way the NPA was written. |
