In a world where nuclear war is always a possibility, it’s important to understand the concept of Mutually Assured Destruction. In this video I explain what it is and why it’s kept the peace for so long.

  1. I don't think they are as deadly as commercialized by USA/USSR but since these 2 countries where so different and war was inevitable that no side could win they created this overblown image to
    1 . Scare other countries to submit to their conflict and dominance
    2 to give explanation to their own citizens why aren't they fighting

  2. My opinion is that Nuclear weapons should be abolished, because what can us as humans gain from it? Winning a war, fine – but at what cost? A war using these such weapons? We would all die. For what?
    I realize it would be nearly impossible to get rid of them, especially regarding countries like Pakistan, Russia and the United States. They would keep some 'just in case', or just make more… "Mankind invented the atomic bomb, but no mouse would ever construct a mousetrap." -Albert Einstein

  3. The true danger is that the east and the west look differently at the concept of MAD. The west values individual human life. The east does not. This has been seen by Russia’s willingness to throw conscripts and old tech into Ukraine, and Chinas willingness to enslave its own western regions. The east doesn’t care about human life.

    The east thinks they CAN win a nuclear war.

  4. We need to go back to training soldiers to NOT have electronic support or communications, EMP blast will prelude the next nuclear-powered war

  5. I would love if you could make your content a little less biased and make the situations a bit more realistic 🙂. US has no reason to nuke russia even if it nukes Belarus. Why does USA even have any interests in Belarus?

  6. Like how the thumbnail picture shows Russia getting more nukes off when it’s pretty apparent that they’ve been exaggerating on their capabilities. NATO would clean house against Russia in any facet of war in my opinion. Nobody wins in a nuclear conflict. Just the US Navy would be a formidable opponent for ANY military in the world by itself.

  7. Russiam Ambassador: We have the doomsday machine. If attacked we will destroy the whole world.
    US General: We should get one of those.

  8. Correction. Nuclear silos can withstand direct nuclear hits and still retaliate. So the last part of your video is incorrect. Subs aren't used for first strike. They are used for long term continuous follow up strikes over months or years after the initial exchange. Read U.S. nuclear doctrine.

  9. There are in fact 3 B-52 bombers each equipped with 30 long range nuclear tipped misses capable of striking into Russia 1500 miles in the air right now. These planes are rotated every 12 hours I think. This patrol was re started with one B-52 with the invasion of Crimea then upgraded to 3 planes with the attempted takeover of Ukraine. NATO has planes to beef up its Rapid Deployment Force form 40,000 troops to 300,000; I huge increase.

  10. This why Albert Einstein said that "I don't know what WWIII will be fought with, but am sure WWIV will be fought with sticks and stones."

  11. Albert Einstein when asked..reply..I don't know what weapon they will use for ww3..but I know..they will be fighting with sticks and stone..for ww4…Scientist studying the effect of a nuclear exchange..between..India and Pakistan ( both with around 200 nuke device) predicted..it will be enough to push the world into nuclear winter..and start a end of mankind event…

  12. The upkeep and maintenance on my collection of nuclear capable ICBMs is a lot cheaper than you think. I spend more on storage than anything else.

  13. Russian military doctrine is one of winning a nuclear war.
    If Russia dropped a low yield nuke on Ukraine; what would NATO do? I don't think NATO would retaliate in kind with nukes. NATO isn't beholden to defending Ukraine. Russia believes in escalating to de escalate.

  14. The only hitch in this doctrine is if either side believes they can survive a counter attack. Difficult, extremely difficult, but doable. All it would take is one mentally unstable person to say "do it". And hopefully there are people, or some people around to say nope. That is how MAD works,

  15. I only wonder what kind of hatred would arise in response towards a nation that dares to initiate this. If Putin does this, it doesn't matter whether he's removed or killed. The hatred towards the russian nation would remain for decades if not centuries. If millions die due to nuclear strikes there would be no redemption or forgiveness.
