Because they could.
Nuclear weapons' yield is derived primarily from fission. Thermonuclear weapon's yield is derived mainly from fusion. Thermonuclear weapons are multistage weapons -- x-rays from a nuclear primary trigger are used to trigger ablation in the pusher of the secondary to compress it, which is responsible for the fusion reaction.
The thermonuclear devices are armed and ready.After the thermonuclear war, the Earth slowly began to die from radiation poisoning.
Nuclear weapons do not deter terrorists and indeed the use of nuclear weapons appeals to terrorists. During the Cold War large superpowers acheived a stalemate since neither side wanted to start a nuclear conflict which could result in Mutual Assured destruction however terrorists have no such concerns.
cos they can and u cant do anything about it!
Einstein made recommendations to FDR to develop atomic weapons before the Nazis did .

Thermonuclear warfare is the use of nuclear weapons in war, either tactically or strategically. Although the term "thermonuclear" technically applies only to the process of fusion, the term is loosely applied to conflict involving fission weapons, fusion weapons, or both (informal synonyms are "atomic war" or "nuclear war").
Thermonuclear weapons.
. . . in the cores of stars and thermonuclear weapons.
The most well known is probably the hydrogen bomb.
Based on weapons stockpiles, there was mutually assured destruction if the two superpowers went to war
During the arms race, all of the superpowers were focused on gaining more weapons instead of attacking one another.
Cold War
Some famous implode systems include but are not limited to nuclear weapon design, pure fission weapons, boosted fission weapons, two-stage thermonuclear weapons and pure fusion weapons to name some.
