The Threat of Nuclear War Since the Cold War

Threat of nuclear war since the Cold War I partly agreed not to agree with the above statements. Although the nuclear war will reach the peak of the Cold War, it has not been completely filled since the end of the war. The nuclear threat is now different from the 20th century, so I will tell you about the Cold War against nuclear threats and the significance of today to prove my argument. At the end of the Second World War, the world was destroyed, Germany finally lost, and a new superpower emerged: the United States.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the end of the Cold War it was widely believed that the threat of a major nuclear war between the two nuclear superpowers diminished. Since then, the attention to nuclear weapons has shifted to the prevention of nuclear disputes and partial nuclear disputes caused by nuclear terrorism threats. The first is a limited nuclear war (sometimes attacks and exchanges), which refers to the small use of nuclear weapons by two (or more) factions. "Limited nuclear warfare" may involve targeting military facilities - to attack as a defensive measure or as an aggressive measure to attack the enemy as a prelude to traditional force invasion We will weaken the ability first. This term applies to small-scale use of nuclear weapons, which may include military and / or private purposes (or both).

The purpose of US nuclear weapons during the Cold War era was mainly to stop the nuclear threat to the United States from the Soviet Union. Today, in the world after 9/11 years, the most imminent threat to the United States on nuclear weapons is not from intentional use of other major forces, but from non-state terrorists spreading in unreliable hands or from these weapons From the area. Since the US nuclear policy and strategy in the security environment after the Cold War and from September 11th are not fully explained, it is difficult to understand in and outside of the country. Because this situation relates to new nuclear weapons neighboring countries, the question of the role and duties of nuclear weapons in the 21st century and its value against security threats, including the uncertainty of the allies' guarantees to the United States As well as uncertainty.

More than 20 years have passed since the end of the Cold War, but the existence of thousands of nuclear weapons continues to pose a serious global threat. While the possibility of nuclear war between the United States and Russia has declined, the survival of large inventory keeps accidental or unauthorized use of nuclear weapons at a certain risk. Since many countries with small amounts of nuclear weapons, such as India and Pakistan, are positively involved in regional conflicts, the possibility of regional nuclear war is a problem. North Korea has illegally acquired nuclear weapons, and other countries, including Iran and Syria, are in violation of their nuclear safeguards commitments and are suspectedly secretly pursuing the function of nuclear weapons.
