Forum:So, anyone think Zanzibar Land raiding Nuclear Disposal sites may have had something to do with preventing Nuclear War and the creation of Stealth Missiles?

Ok, in Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, One of the plot elements of that game was that during the disarmanent period between 1997 and 1999, Zanzibar Land started raiding Nuclear Disposal Sites across the globe with Metal Gear D.

I'm starting to wonder if their doing this had anything to do with the fact that The Patriots were developing REX and the stealth nukes? I mean, it is implied in Nastasha's Novel that the reason Admiral Boorda was murdered in such a way that seemed like suicide was because they needed to free up the Black Budget to allow REX to be developed, which happened all the way back in May of 1996. There is also the fact that Kenneth Baker mentioned that instead of ending the Nuclear Age at the turn of the century, disarmanent made the possibility of a Nuclear War an even greater threat than before. There's also the fact that around 2002, Shadow Moses Island, although officially a Nuclear Disposal Facility, was actually developing Stealth Nukes for Metal Gear REX, which was going to severely undermine the ballistic treaties. I did find it odd that Big Boss would want to steal enough Nuclear Weapons to make Zanzibar Land the sole Nuclear Power in the world, especially seeing how he made it quite clear that he doesn't even care about power. This at least makes enough sense to me. I wonder if that's the reason for it. Discuss. Weedle McHairybug 13:02, July 17, 2010 (UTC)
