Here's another video on the nuclear deterrent force:
MikeeMiracle said:the worlds nuclear weapons remain secure and under full control of their countries governments
MikeeMiracle said:Nukes are old tech and dirty too, leaving tons of radiation everywhere.
jake jot said:Nuclear war can be inevitable and can come anytime. It's not a matter of if, but when.
MikeeMiracle said:The concern should be minimised if anything, you know that we have had this ability for decades and nothing has happened so why should it in the future?
Nukes are old tech and dirty too, leaving tons of radiation everywhere. Generally unless you want total destruction with nothing left for anyone why use them? In war you still want to be able to control and run whatever territory you want to take over, you would not be able to do that if you radiated it.
Nukes heat an area and the air around it to a very high temperature which cuases a shock wave which causes most of the damage. Most developed nations have developed thermobaric weapons now which can produce the same atmospheric shockwave effect. In light of this there is no real excuse to use a nuke anymore and these days we favour more targetted strikes than just "let's blow up this whole area."
