Opinions on this are divided. Some argue that nuclear weapons act as a deterrent and prevent major conflicts between nuclear-armed states, therefore promoting stability. Others believe that the existence of nuclear weapons poses a significant risk of accidental use or escalation that could lead to catastrophic consequences.
Some countries view nuclear weapons as a deterrent against potential threats from other nations. They believe that possessing nuclear weapons enhances their security and sovereignty. However, from a broader perspective, many argue that the world would be safer and more secure without nuclear weapons due to the catastrophic consequences they can bring.
The US possesses around 45% of the world's nuclear weapons.
While nuclear weapons have the potential to cause massive destruction, it is unlikely that they could destroy the entire world. However, a large-scale nuclear war could have catastrophic consequences for civilization, causing widespread devastation, loss of life, and long-term environmental impacts. Efforts to prevent the use of nuclear weapons are crucial for global security and peace.
Nuclear weapons have the potential to cause massive devastation, including widespread destruction and loss of life. However, it is unlikely that they could completely destroy the world or the planet itself. The use of nuclear weapons would have catastrophic consequences with long-lasting impacts on the environment and civilization.
It is difficult to provide an exact number as the use of nuclear weapons would have catastrophic global consequences, potentially leading to nuclear winter and widespread devastation. It is imperative to prevent the use of such weapons to protect life on Earth.
No. Material becamr far easier to obtain and that makes the world less safe.
They are a part of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. They want the world to be free of nuclear weapons and also want to be part of making the world a safer place. "As a State Party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, Bosnia and Herzegovina is fully committed to implementing the Treaty and stands ready to contribute to the international efforts to ensure its universality as a long term goal in promotion of security and prevention of proliferation of nuclear weapons in the world."
By reducing the nuclear armaments, the world can be a more safer place to live in because right now the stockpile of nuclear weapons around the world is able to destroy the whole world. Not only that by reducing the nuclear armaments, countries can have a better relations with each other.

fifth rank in nuclear weapons
Two nuclear weapons ended World War 2.
There were no nuclear weapons in WW1. The nuclear bomb was not invented until WW2.
Nuclear weapons are a good thing for the United States because they prevent others from using nuclear weapons on the US. In general, the world would probably be a better place without nuclear weapons if it weren't for the fact that they lead to research in all fields of Nuclear Engineering, like Nuclear Power plants and Nuclear Physics. Since nuclear weapons already exist in the world, for the US to get rid of their nuclear weapons would be unwise. Countries that dislike nuclear weapons or even radical terrorist cells and organizations would now have no reason not to launch a nuclear warhead at the US since no retaliation would occur. The strategy of nuclear weapons preventing others from using them against the US is called the Deterrent Strategy.
Egypt is not believed or suspected to have nuclear weapons, or a nuclear weapons program, at this time (May 2009). See Related Link for a discussion of the world's nuclear powers.
In the most basic sense, proliferation of nuclear weapons is the spread of nuclear weapons and weapons usable technology in the world. In a much broader sense, it refers to the acquiring of capability to produce nuclear weapons, or weapons-grade nuclear material (high-enriched uranium, plutonium) by states previously not possessing them.
