Not in my lifetime. Although the UK is going that way. Remember the 85 year old woman who was arrested for shouting at a bunch of Muslims "Why don't you go home,?" after the murder of Lee Rigsby a year ago. The police could have just moved her on, not arrest her. Yet Anjem Choudary spouts hate speech, burns the Union Flag and the police do nothing. My Granddad must be spinning in his grave.

Any contemplation of a nuclear war is ridiculous. Nuclear arms are just a waste of money, money that could be used for productive purposes. There are only two outcomes of countries possessing nuclear weapons: 1) Some idiot starts a nuclear attack, which would result in total annihilation of the earth, or 2) There never will be a nuclear conflict. If there is total annialation, then human history has ended, so the whole argument becomes moot. Therefore, there will never be a nuclear war. All the activities in the production, spying, stockpiling, etc. with regard to nuclear arms is being played out by idiots who are self aggrandized beyond comprehension.
