Here Are Six People Who Shouldn't Have Their Hands On Nukes

With the Indian and Pakistani envoys locking horns at UN and forces of two countries assembling at borders, the world is once again hit by the perennial fear of a possible escalation between the two nuclear powers of South Asia.

But since India is considered to be responsible enough and has been practicing restraint despite several provocations by its errant neighbour, the nuclear war between two Asian rivals appears quite unlikely.

Those who scare most with their nukes include:

Kim Jong Un, North Korea

With reports of North Korea getting closer to possess the nuclear weapons doing rounds, the global fear of Kim Jong Un, the young North Korean despot unleashing the unclear havoc on the world is getting firm ground.

The 32 year old autocrat is known for his mercilessness and has been in news for all the wrong reasons including the assassination of his own relatives over minor issues. North Korea is considered to be a hell on earth, where people aren't allowed to read, write and watch movies. North Korea has been threatening its neighbours, particularly, South Korea and Japan of facing dire consequences after North Korea possesses the nuclear weapons.

Rodrigo Duterte, The President of Philippines

Though Philippines doesn't have nuclear weapons and is quite unlikely to posses them, it has the leader who is known for his hatred for any given opposition.

Duterte's levels of insanity can be easily fathomed by his recent comment against Barack Obama where he called the US President, son of a whore, shortly after the G20 summit in China. He He is believed to have a 'death squad' which carries out assassinations at his behest.

General Raheel Sharif, Pakistan

Pakistan possesses nuclear arsenal and the world fears that Pakistan is one country which can start the nuclear war or can hand over the nukes to the terrorist like it allegedly did in past where it sold nuclear technology to countries like Libya, Iraq and North Korea.

Though Pakistan Army Chief, General Raheel Shariff, so far has not reflected any sign of becoming an autocrat, being one of the most powerful Army Generals he may exercise his power at his will.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey's President

Although the recent attempt of coup in Turkey was foiled, experts believe that it was planned by president Erdogan himself to find legitimacy for massive crack down upon his rivals.

Erdogan is known for his iron fist approach and though it's believed that Turkey doesn't posses nuclear, Erdogan isn't the man who should have his finger close to button of nuclear missile.

Bashar al-Assad, Syrian President

Since 2011, Syria has been under civil war with several theaters of war including pro-Assad forces taking on rebels allegedly backed by NATO apart from Daesh aka IS, which still has a hold on key areas in the country.

The reports have been doing rounds that over the last five years, Syrian forces have killed more than 1,500 people using chemical weapons. Assad is certainly among those leaders who shouldn't have hands on nukes.

Donald Trump, Presidential Candidate, USA

Donald Trump, the Republican candidate for the US President has been a known for his tomfoolery over the years. If he becomes president of a super-power like the US which has more than 2,500 nukes, the fears of a nuclear war may rise again.

Reuters

The US's current stand with Russia (also a nuclear power) over Syria and other global issues can trigger tension between two nations.

Donald Trump is certainly among those who shouldn't have hands over the nuclear weapons.
