As many nuclear warheads are kept at sea and are well hidden there are fears of the weapon detonating itself by accident and causing escalation and retaliation. If this happened a nuclear war could start in some other circumstances, for example, if a crazy dictator came into power in a country which has nuclear arms or if an irresponsible government, a terrorist group who were able to get hold of a nuclear weapon or a technical error could set off a nuclear arms accidentally.
Looking at recent figures, there have been over two hundred and fifty wars since the end of the Second World War, which was over fifty years ago, but obviously there haven’t been any other world wars. I am positive this is because nuclear weapons have frightened many countries away from combat with each other seeing that twenty nations can make nuclear and have the capacity to construct the bombs. Then when this point is mentioned, the argument supports the existence of nuclear weapons. Some Christians believe that nuclear arms can always be justified. This is why the point is good and bad. Nobody wants nuclear war, but if we have the weapons we can stop wars.
Everyone of today’s world would be a strong nuclear pacifist, which is why thousands of people protest for the disarmament of nuclear weapons.
Although we are severely worried about nuclear weapons, we are never actually told procedure and effects when the bomb is actually dropped in Leicester, within a radius of fifty km almost everybody will die because of lack of protection, only those in underground shelter can be sure to survive. As it’s waves blast to a distance of one hundred km from where the bomb is dropped in Leicester for example, these people would die within a fortnight, again make shift shelters would provide some protection. Two hundred km is near to London, is likely that most people will survive, some will be extremely ill and may cause cancer and produce deformed babies. The protection from a shelter under the ground with no air intakes would save some lives. I think the world should completely banish nuclear weapons for the damage created and caused by the bomb.
