[QUOTE="soberups, post: 578493, member: 14668"] If there is a "silver lining" to the advent of nuclear weaponrs, it is that they have made the type of total, global wars of WW1 and WW2 a thing of the past. With nuclear weapons, a weaker nation can prevent a far stronger nation from invading it by making the cost of an invasion too horrific to bear. Nuclear weapons are probably also the only reason that all of Europe was not invaded and conquered by the Russians after WW2. During the Cold War, Russia enjoyed an almost 3 to 1 advantage in troops and tanks over the combined armies of the USA, UK , France and the other NATO allies. Had the Russians chosen to invade there is simply no way we could have stopped them with conventional weapons. Our posession of and willingess to use nuclear weapons ultimately saved millions of lives by preventing such an invasion from ever taking place. [/QUOTE]
