TBH, I don't fear nuclear war with a nation like Russia or China anytime soon. Neither country has a deathwish or a desire to end the world. What does really scare me is the possibility of a terrorist attack involving nukes. A dirty bomb that goes off anywhere in the downtown of a major city. I'm glad that this hasn't happened in the past 10 years, but that isn't a very long time. Given the pace of technology, and the inevitable slipups that will happen, the cynic in me thinks it's only a matter of time.
