RE: Worlds together, worlds apart - Nuclear Paradox
Great article @geekgirl!
Do nuclear weapons present danger or safety? or both?
I believe both. They can act as a way to stop the enemies from attacking you, avoiding a war like you said.
which goes into history as one of the greatest tragedies caused by the mankind
I know America receives a lot of criticism for dropping those 2 atomic bombs. But it I think it is necessary to also take into the account the opinions of those who justify the attack, like this video from prager university.
In twenty first century, there are other instruments that can be developed and utilized to prevent future wars
There might be, but I don't know if they can be as effective as a nuclear weapon. Assuring your enemy of the fact he is gonna be destroyed if he attacks you is a very strong reason to not start any in the first place attack.
The dropping of atomic bombs is a controversial subject indeed. There are good arguments on both sides of it. But nobody really denies it was a great tragedy. In modern warfare, somehow having casualties of innocent people has become a normal and acceptable thing. In the past armies would work out their differences in the battlefields.
Maybe we are not there yet, but one day all geopolitical players will have to come to terms with an idea that they don't really have to be enemies/adversaries of each other. Strategies based on us vs them kind of concepts will not viable anymore.
