How does it make you feel to know that most of the nuclear weapons in the Soviet and US arsenals remain ready for use even in the post-Cold War era?
Actually this is false most of the Cold War era nuclear weapons have been destroyed.At the peak of the Cold War the U.S. had about 10,000 strategic and 20,000 tactical nuclear weapons and the USSR had about 10,000 strategic and 30,000 tactical nuclear weapons.Following the signing of START both sides agreed to destroy all tactical nuclear weapons and reduce strategic nuclear weapons slowly over a period of time.At this time both the U.S. and Russia have about 3,500 strategic nuclear weapons each and no tactical nuclear weapons (although some people say that Russia secretly maintains about 1,000 tactical nuclear weapons).So, from a peak of about 70,000 nuclear weapons during the Cold War to about 7,000 nuclear weapons now, only about 10% of the weapons then available still remain ready for use.
What was the role played by nuclear weapons in the Korean War?
Korea was the FIRST "Limited War" (Vietnam was the SECOND) fought during the Cold War. Nuclear Weapons created the Cold War. A "Limited War" was fought with "limitations" on where the war would be fought and using only conventional weapons. Without Nuclear Weapons, the US/Allies would have probably invaded Red China, when Communist China entered the war. Which of course would have caused the Soviet Union to enter the war. Which naturally would have led to WW3. The Soviets tested their first Atomic Weapon in 1949.

What were the nuclear weapons the countries used in the Cold War?
No nuclear weapons were used in the Cold War. The reason it is called that is that the United States and the Soviet union never came into direct military conflict. The only time that atomic weapons have been used was during the Second World War. The USA has only used nuclear weapons in combat twice. A Nuclear weapon has not been used in action since 1945. Many countries tested nuclear weapons during the cold war such as USA, Russia, France and the United Kingdom. While none were used in combat a wide variety were tested and you could argue that these were effectively used in the Cold War due to the fact their testing was a deterrent. Examples of nuclear weapons designed for use in the cold war include the USA's Castle Bravo, Russia's Tsar Bomb, the M-388 Davy Crockett and a variety of ICBM's.
