Ted Turner Fears 'Suicidal Destruction' from Nukes

[forty911]

I'll not knock a man who speaks out against THE BOMB.

[OutOfGas2012]

drop nukes on montana, specifically his range.. and the better america will be for it.

this scumbag has accomplished nothing with exception of padding his pocketbook

with americans money, period. he shouldn't even be in this country ...

[HorrorAngel666]

You can tell He is smoking that good stuff. Yes hes mega rich so he doesn't have to hide who he is, he donates money to legalizing it.

[gfbish]

If they are too dangerous why doesnt USA give up its nukes.USA is the threat the world faces.They are a rogue state.Most of the people are OK but the govt is run by the illuminati.

Idiots like bill gates think because they are rich they have a better opinion.They want to kill most of us off. God is coming soon to destroy all of them.

The Lord told me dec2009 that JUDGMENT has begun.Make your peace with God.

[truthIsStranger]

turner is a raging hypocrite. He's got five kids, and wants to limit everyone else to 2.

both he and bill gates are raging advocates of depopulation, yet are bandied about the world stage as philanthropists. I don't care if 95% won't believe it. It's easier not to believe billionaires want 80% of us dead.

"They are ants, Ted, they ARE ants!"

Been looking for that quote from B. Gates on family guy... can't find it. :-(

[MegaRebel420]

outlaw nuclear weapons for individual countries and have a protection organization for the world that hold the only nuclear weapons that is for protection from space objects only and should be inhumane to use them in the act of war

[larzhendrixson]

RIGHT SAID TED!

[drewster85]

this guy cant even speak english....and he owns half the television stations? wtf, is wrong with this world?

[bastainbeirut]

PEOPLE LIKE YOU .. thats what's wrong with the world

[drewster85]

hey, that's just like, your opinion maaaan

[Foxynews]

i doubt it.

[mdelcamp1]

Ted Turner is a very naturally smart man, and I respect him tremendously. He is a self-made Tycoon, not your usual rich banker or corporate honcho. However, if I were living his life: 1) I would never have divorced my wife, Jane Fonda; and 2) I would never have given my Billion dollar fortune to the United Nations.

[GhostVillain]

@mdelcamp1 You do know how much of a piece of shit jane fonda is, right?

[mdelcamp1]

Wrong. She was young, unworldly (idealistic) and maybe a bit spoiled, when she made her misteps in Bhietnham. I do know that many Viet Vets, especially U.S. Navy guys, circulate scurrilous attacks on Jane to this day, such as your own here. It makes me wonder about the honor of U.S. Military guys, truly. What is it Mark Twain aka Samuel Clemmons, that great American, said? Oh yes: "A lie can travel halfway around the world, before the truth gets out of bed." I guess that's why Politics has Lies.

[GhostVillain]

@mdelcamp1 Do pictures and videos lie? She was posing for pictures while sitting on enemy anti aircraft guns. No wonder the navy hates her, that same gun was shooting down their jets. She's a traitor.

[mdelcamp1]

I would be more concerned about the pictures and videos of the warfare devastation of the countryside and the population, including many innocent civilians, of that Third World Country, if I were you. Maybe you should go and read books about this miscreant war, such as the book written by then Defense Secretary McNamara, the Ford Man who ran it. Or read about General Westmoreland. I had a Vet tell me last week he hated Lyndon Johnson. Well, like other U.S. Presidents, he was led into it by Pent*

[GhostVillain]

Yeah war is hell. We all know that. Still no excuse.

You aren't gonna change my mind about that and sorry for the language, fucking cunt. So don't even waste your time. I'm just glad there are more people who agree with me than you.

[lumpfish99]

this guys a butt wipe....

[AbbeyDoor]

This guy is such a weirdo ..... and he runs CNN?

I think I need to find a new News Channel....any suggestions?

[lumpfish99]

he founded cnn.....perhaps he might get a job at fox....another crappy msm channel....! btw, i just gave you a thumbs up cos some idiot gave you a thumbs down....i have no idea why....

[johnny2demax]

yeah how about channel 1L19 its smart and sexy, and fullfills your news needs through direct insemination directly through biodegradable transistors, also it protests the theory that you fear what you cannot touch.

[rhideout]

Since the US has so many, just share with everyone to make us all equal.

[Foxynews]

nobody really has them, it's all psychological warfare.

but don't tell anyone (it's a secret :D)

[catgumart]

who is going to give up their missiles though...no one trusts anyone else and further more there are likely plenty of people who would use them...?

[catgumart]

At :57 does he say Khak-istan? Or does he mean Kazakhstan?..or was there once a place called Khak-istan?

[ButteryGoombaZappa]

as long as there are nukes there is going to be a third world war

[garethb1961]

Don't worry.

Only one country has ever used nuclear waepons. Oh shit, they still got them.

[joneselius]

Give an ancient culture built around sacrifice the ultimate sacrificial tool, and I'll bet my bottom dollar they'll use it..... When it suits them, NOT you.

[tinylittlegnat2]

chernobyl wasnt a nuclear bomb it was a meltdown of a reactor. nuclear bombs are much cleaner

[billybobby800]

lol.....

[PVFF87]

"Much cleaner" relative to one of the most hazardous materials catastrophes known to man is still pretty bad. Dust and debris kicked up from a bomb is able to travel many, many more miles than the initial effect of the bomb.

[TylerandSamTV]

we dont want no nuclear war

with nuclear war we wont get far

just another holocaust -peter tosh

[billybobby800]

unforntuantely some do  -the terrorists

[lyricallyblind]

The terrorists are the FREEMASONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!! AND THE Terrorists IS THE GOVERNMENT!!

[rkgskingdom]

Former Vice President Cheney predicts U.S. will be hit by nuclear attack or germ warfare attack and that hundreds of thousands of Americans will die!

[tinylittlegnat2]

in that case im not worried about it happening

[ScientologySucksAss]

we're boned

[Britainrulesthewaves]

i think what ted turner is really worrying about is whether there is a nuclear bomb shelter free to keep his cash!

[LeGioNoFZioN]

Ted turner is either wildly naive or intentionally dishonest

[zax808]

was the dishonesty

[zax808]

wheres the dishonesty?

[LeGioNoFZioN]

in his words, he's a rockefeller democrat

[WhoRonPaul]

noones gonna get rid of their nukes until israel does

[k166a]

Did he say "cockistan"?

[Hopeful71]

Won't ever happen. The US needs it's empircal power to invade any nation it chooses. Nukes are the license to do that. You want America to give up it nukes then you have to explain to it that it can never be the empire it dreams of being.

[lennhart]

The US has NO 'god' given right to use 'imperial' power against any sovereign nation.

The US --like any other nation bound by treaty and precedent --may defend itself. Acts of aggression, however, are prohibited by every treaty to which the US is signatory and, in fact, obligated by international law and agreement.

Therefore, the US attacks and invasion of both Afghanistan and Iraq were war crimes and prosecutable at the Hague.

[lennhart]

The correct word, by the way, is 'imperial' --NOT 'empirical'.

The word 'empirical' is used in epistemology to refer to the extent to which all knowledge is dependent upon sense experience.

[F002boy]

This is so true. And going nuclear is only a current concern. I think we must to do something to regulate the development of human as well because one day some country might invent things that are more dangerous. All it takes is one major mistake and it would be the end.

[ossowiecki]

How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb. Yeehaw!

[Redfingers]

Here's the problem:

just because we disarm doesn't mean any other industrialized nation will, including Russia

and developing nations and third world nations won't stop developing them

it could only encourage them

because if you become the only nation in the entire world with nuclear missiles....even two evenly matched powers like the United States and Japan in WWII....dissolved to a utter landslide after Nag+Hiroshi.

They'd become a superpower overnight just by getting nukes

[Redfingers]

My greatest fear is not that these nations will develop and use nuclear missiles, its that these pussies will back down at the moment of truth.

Mutually assured destruction MUST be assured. And if that appeal doesn't reach the Iranians because of their opinions on the afterlife, I think we should expedite their trip, pardon me.

Nuclear technology: the cat's outta the bag. Sorry, guys.

[faszika]

macmud acmanijedad :)

[screwopenborders]

I agree, set the example US. But also build missle defense in case anyone decides they want to nuke an unarmed US.

[vistavision2]

South Africa gave up their nuclear weapons because they did not want a black government in possesssion of nukes.

The other three fromer USSR states gave them up to manifest neutrality in the USA vs Russia context.

Contrary to popular belief: The end of manklind is not the end of the world- The world will still spin around the sun with or without life.

International law is contractual law.

Naivette to call for unilateral nuclear disarmament.

[silversalvo]

"Science has made us gods even before we are worthy of being men."

"The world has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience.

-Omar N. Bradley

[NixuzE]

Canada could have had nuclear weapons a long time ago but we voted we didn't want them. Smart move if you ask me, and one that probably isn't going to change.

[mikezephyr]

there's nothing like civilization to fuck up the planet.

everything about this shitty culture is reviling.

[ElectricityNow]

I totally agree, if the US got rid of their nuclear arsenal then they could employ a more aggressive policy in terms of disarming other countries.

[merdufer]

the deterrent failed to stop the first world war. it won't stop anything now. if people have nuclear weapons, it's only a matter of time before they use them.

global nuclear disarmament sounds a bit idealistic but that's probably the best idea out there.

[mikezephyr]

i would not trust governments that were willing to nuke the Southwest and the Pacific to be meaningfully interested in disarmament.

and even with hackers (another good idea) dismantling thousands of missiles, there'd be tons of nukes outside the reach of us that want them gone.

alternatively, the electric (and energy) grid that sustains state and corporate power is super prone to anything from virtually cost-free attacks or sophisticated tactics like e-bombs.

[fruitsofescapism]

as things stand right now its the concept of nwo NEW WORLD ORDER a might driven top down dominance concept versus the concept of wdp: WORLD DOMESTIC POLITICS. I mean thing about it. Why cant the planet be just one country with 200 different states and a population of 6 Billion ? WHY NOT? why effin NOT?

[7tCinema]

Culture. But we can get over that. Maybe with Hip-Hop

[vistavision2]

7thcinema,

Everyone on the planet wants to be a smollywood star, Bellydancer,or a badboy [gangster]: You are correct HipHop & Breakdancing are are the commonality of modernity.

[italianchappy]

If all world governments agree together to relinquish their nuclear bombs it would be a great thing. Sadly there are other menaces. Biological weapons for instance. And there's the case someone could fake its own disarmament.

Maybe this thing will be achieved only when there will be a world government with effective police power all over the countries. On the other side I understand the very idea of a world government can be disliked by many people too.

[wmg111]

Evolution is a slow process.

I just hope we have time.

[araless]

Ted Turner seems to be a fairly reasonable guy. I can't really argue with that logic.
