Consider the following scenario:

I've created a weapon of mass destruction untold times stronger than all else before it. It has the ability to single handedly destroy a country the size of France into barren wasteland instantly, killing virtually all life in that area.

I will detonate this weapon in the USA as an example of it's power. Any nation which continues to war will be destroyed off the face of the Earth. Hopefully, conflicts between nations and terrorism will soon cease. As they do, I will hand out this weapon to the major nations of the world because sooner or later, shit will get started again and the world will need to remind itself of devastation.

My goal is simply world peace.

Discuss.

Fuck off faggot.

Why do some idiots hate Texas so much? Is it because we prove right wing governance is superior to left wing governance?

If you're implying it can fuck up a country the size of france then it will definitely cause a 6th great extinction as it's a shitton bigger than the one that hit yucatan millions of years ago.

Have you checked your water levels lately?

I find the amount of freshwater in your region is a good indicator of how well your government is doing.

Invasion of the body snatchers, you get world peace, but the cost is the real question. These arguments should always come with counter arguments for better understanding.

Watch Dr. Strangelove, mutually assured destruction is only a good model for world peace until the super weapon in question falls into the hands of a lunatic.
