Should Americans promote the use of nuclear weapons

I'm looking forward to this debate hopefully each us of us can learn from it and I will attempt to make my argument easy to read so it will be presented in bulleted form with little bias, and each round will end with a conclusion and sources. Definitions [1] Promote: to help (something) happen, develop, or increase Use: the act of using something Biodiversity: the existence of many different kinds of plants and animals in an environment Nonintervention/non-interventionism: A foreign policy which holds that political rulers should avoid alliances with other nations, but still retain diplomacy, and avoid all wars not related to direct self-defense. [2] Nuclear bomb Statistics: [3] - The United States currently the U.S. has 7,700 nuclear warheads. - Russia currently has 8,500 nuclear warheads. - The United Kingdom currently has 220 nuclear warheads. - France currently has 300 nuclear nuclear warheads. - India currently has 90-110 nuclear warheads. - Pakistan currently has 100-120 nuclear warheads. - North Korea currently has less than 10 nuclear warheads. - Israel currently has 80 nuclear warheads based on U.S. data, but may have up to 200. Environmental impacts: [4] [5] [6] [7] - If 100 Hiroshima-sized nuclear bombs were detonated then the smoke would block out sunlight, cool the planet, and produce climate change unprecedented in recorded human history, in fact a bomb 260 times more powerful than Hiroshima nearly detonated over North Carolina in 1961. - The production of nuclear weapons has polluted soil and water at hundreds of facilities. Many of the pollutants are carcinogenic and/or mutagenic, some even remain hazardous for thousands of years. - Nuclear bombs kill organisms and decreases biodiversity. Plants, animals, and microbal life are the basis of nearly half of all market drugs in the United States, in addition biodiversity aids agricultural, business, and industrial sectors. Health impacts: [8] [9] - In Hiroshima the estimated death total from one nuclear bomb is 330,000 - In Nagasaki the estimated death total from one nuclear bomb is 250,000 - Radiation has effects that happen over a longer timeline such as cancer, by causing mutations in the DNA of living cells. Foreign Policy [10] - Pakistan and India (who both have nuclear bombs) have alot of political tensions, I believe it is within these countries interest to end the tensions immediatly. - Russia and the United States have had alot of political tension, and the whole world is lucky no nuclear action that likely would have led to mass retalliation occured. - I believe the foreign policy is non-interventionism, since war (nations destroying each other) doesn't occur. Conclusion I believe it's apparent that promoting the use of nuclear bombs harms foreign interaction and that the use of nuclead bombs should never be promoted and i'm highly in favor of non-interventionism. Your side states that Americans (note: the term Americans includes political leaders such as Barack Obama, Mitt Romney, the Clinton's, etc.) should help/aid the use of nuclear bombs, I look forward to seeing your argument and thanks for starting this debate.
