waah....you sound so serious ah.... hehehe.... relax laa... hahahOriginally posted by tankee1981:That scenario will not be likely in the next 10 years. Now assuming our intelligence failed and they managed to develop nuclear weapons, we should do our very best diplomatically through the UN and ASEAN to disarm them. After all, ASEAN members have signed agreements which makes it illegal to possess nuclear weapons in this region.
In the mean time, train our citizens and military to survive and fight in a nuclear environment much like how we prepare for chemical attacks, thats the very least we can do. At the same time also develop a strike plan much similar to what the Israelis did to the Osirak nuclear plant near Baghdad back in 1981, but on a larger scale to cover all potential weapon sites.
PS. Malaysia indeed have a nuclear research facility.

We discuss about many weapons but if our neighbors has nuclear what can we do to protect ourselves? Beg for help?No, they can`t. It`s not that easy. It will take a long time. Even if they do, we`ll have them too and more of them and MAD applies. And no one`s mad enough or not? Worst for them, they make preparations to make one covertly but will take a long time and we`ll know about it. In return, we`ll simply buy them off the shelf from our `friends'(and no one`s gonna complain or will do anything about it..hah..the irony) and it`ll be an Israeli-Arab equation in SEA. And that`s bad for them since they can`t do squat though we won`t be sitting too pretty ourselves.
You seriously think the other ASEAN nationsASEAN has its usefulness but ties itself in knots over the simplest of issues and is quite powerless to act militarily or even on economic issues(given the internal problems some countries face). Its true power lies in informal diplomatic pressure but even then, the limits are quite apparent as in the case of Myammar. This is especially the case when they are hardly united on many fronts.
and the nuclear powers would allow anyone in this region to go nuclear?Proxy control over a new found and considerable threat(Islamic or otherwise)..I would think so.
