*”nuclear warfare” is a ‘military conflict’ or ‘political strategy’ in which ‘nuclear weaponry’ is used to inflict ‘damage’ on the (human?) ‘enemy’*
.
(compared to ‘conventional warfare’, ‘nuclear warfare’ can be vastly more destructive in ‘range’ and ‘extent of damage’)
(…and in a much shorter time)
(a ‘major nuclear exchange’ would have ‘long-term effects’, primarily from the ‘fallout’ released, and could also lead to a ‘nuclear winter’ that could last for ‘decades’, ‘centuries’, or even ‘millennia’ after the ‘initial attack’)
(some analysts claim that with this ‘potential nuclear winter side-effect’ of a ‘nuclear war’, almost (?) every ‘human’ on ‘earth’ could ‘starve’ to ‘death’)
(other ‘analysts’ (who dismiss the ‘nuclear winter hypothesis’) calculate that with ‘nuclear weapon stockpiles’ at ‘cold war ‘highs, in a ‘surprise countervalue global nuclear war’ billions of casualties would have resulted but billions of people would nevertheless have survived)
(so far, ‘2 nuclear weapons’ have been used in the course of ‘warfare’, both by the ‘united states’ near the end of ‘world war II’)
(on ‘6 august 1945’, a ‘uranium gun-type device’ (code name “little boy”) was detonated over the japanese city of ‘hiroshima’)
(3 days later (on ‘august 9th’, a ‘plutonium implosion-type device’ (code name “fat man”) was detonated over the japanese city of ‘nagasaki’)
(these 2 bombings resulted in the deaths of approximately ‘120,000 people’)
(the ‘united states military’ launched a ‘nuclear attack’ on the japanese city of ‘hiroshima’ on ‘6 august 1945’)
.
(after ‘world war 2’, ‘nuclear weapons’ were also developed by…)
the ‘soviet union’
(‘1949’)
the ‘united kingdom’
(1952)
‘france’
(1960)
‘people’s republic of china’
(‘1964″)
.
(by the time ‘beatlemania’ (re-)erupted in ‘america’, ‘chinese scientists’ finally figured out how to detonate a ‘nuclear bomb’)
(and its name was ‘yoko ono’)
(and ‘bea robles’)
(for total of 5 ‘nuclear nations’)
(‘capitalism’ vs ‘communism’)
(‘west’ vs ‘east’)
(former ‘WWII allies’)
(though 1 must be sure to remember) stalin’s ‘non-aggression pact’ he made with ‘hitler’)
(before ‘hitler’ ignored it and invaded ‘russia’)
(until the ‘red army’ stormed into ‘berlin’)
(how many ‘people’ under each ‘national division’?)
(all this contributed to the state of ‘conflict’ + ‘extreme tension’ that became known as the ‘cold war’)
(in ‘1974’, ‘india’, and in ‘1998’, ‘pakistan’, (2 countries that were openly hostile toward each other) developed ‘nuclear weapons’)
(‘israel’ (‘1960s’) + ‘north korea’ (‘2006’) are also thought to have developed stocks of ‘nuclear weapons;, though it is not known how many)
(the ‘israeli government’ has never admitted to having ‘nuclear weapons’, although it is known to have constructed the ‘reactor’ and ‘reprocessing plant’ necessary for building ‘nuclear weapons’)
(‘south africa’ also manufactured several ‘complete nuclear weapons’ in the ‘1980s’, but subsequently became the first country to voluntarily destroy their ‘domestically made weapons stocks’ and abandon further production (in the 1990s))
(‘nuclear weapons’ have been detonated on over ‘2,000 occasions’ for ‘testing purposes’ + ‘demonstrations’)
.
(after the collapse of the ‘soviet union’ in ‘1991’ and the resultant ‘end’ of the ‘cold war’, the threat of a ‘major nuclear war’ between the 2 ‘nuclear superpowers’ was generally thought to have declined)
.
(since then, concern over ‘nuclear weapons’ has shifted to the prevention of ‘localized nuclear conflicts’ resulting from ‘nuclear proliferation’…)
