Kosovo

I think that taking out the industry would do more harm than destroying cities. Industry and infrastructure are the key.

most major industry infrastructures are in the major cities. so once again, if you nuke the countries 6 biggest cities, their economy collapses.

[Dane Kiet]

And how many industrial centers HAVE to be miles away (out of range of a blast) from the city because they have dangerous materials? Also, by nuking cities, you have to deal with the uproar from OTHER countries. So, you MIGHT defeat ONE enemy, but now you have a lot of OTHER countries trying to kill you. Smooth.

And once again, an economy won't collapse from losing cities, no majorly important and crucial industries are located within major cities

[Isamu]

i looked at some stuff on the internet and so far from what I can tell the results of having cities nuked can swing either way. the only way to find out what would happen to a countries economy after having it's major cities destroyed is to do it to a country and see what happens. it also depends on the country.

So the point of that post was to admit that i have no idea what i'm talking about?

I think so.

[Isamu]

sure but if you think about it none of us did it can go either way. if it were a country like the usa taking out our 6 largest cities wouldn't be the same as taking out the 6 largest of a country like kuwait or khazakstan or any smaller countries.

Oh, that is brilliant. Let's attack smaller countries and hops our fellow large countries don't get pissed. I love this train of thought.

depends on which countries you attack.

Yes, lets nuke Kosovo!

How does losing New York do serious damage?

Because the stock market is there.

heard of wall street? FTSE? an economy will collapse from destroying the makor cities! databanks will be destroyed! data wil be lost! billions will be lost. and the stock market will be annihilated!

[Meyer]

Why you support the independence of Kosovo if you want to nuke it?

And I don't think that the loss of wall street would do serious damage world wide. There are other important stocks in the world these days. the loss of one, even one of the important ones, is easily recovered I think. Data is usually stored in many places so that loss of one doesn't compromise it. and What does Wall street have to do with industry?

Sure it would, did you not hear about the shock waves that rippled through the global stock markets after the stocks on Wall Street fell over fears of a US recession?

[Meyer]

No it had no affect in here. Maybe some rich Swedish bastards lost a few bucks. But those things have no affect in most people.

i don't want to nuke kosovo. it deserves independence. i am anti-nuclear (weapons, i am pro-nuclear power) i was saying that nuking kosovo would be pointless in that russia is the most likely to nuke kosovo, but it would also affect serbia, as a country, and oveall, more serbs would probably die. nuclear weapons should never be used. no good can come out of them. i never said i wanted to nuke kosovo

[Isamu]

the united states of all countries should support countries gaigning their independance...

I think Meyer was responding to GrndAdmrlPellaeon with that part of his post.

you do realise kazakhstan is the 9th largest country in the world? so it doesnn;t really apply to yo r statement, although yes, only a few large cities exist, such as astana, and almaty.

It'd be kinda like Canada. Nuke Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver and we're pretty much raped.

Thats because of whats actually happening to the stock market, the stock market is not a building, the stock market is simply data, stored all over the US.  Destroying the building that currently houses the New York stock exchange does little.

heard of wall street? FTSE? an economy will collapse from destroying the makor cities! databanks will be destroyed! data wil be lost! billions will be lost. and the stock market will be annihilated!

The amount of data stored in major cities in few in comparison to whats kept in rural, out of the way places.  Once again, destroying the building housing the stock exchange does not annihilate a stock market, simply is an inconvenience for those who work there.
