    agree with the previous writer in terms of the risk Khrushchev took by placing nuclear missiles on Cuba. However, the risk lay largely in the fact that the Soviet deployment was done in secret rather than an in the open deployment of these weapons itself. I would even speculate that a skillful public announcement of the Soviet intentions, perhaps through the United Nations, in which the Khrushchev explained that US nuclear missiles in Europe pointing at the Soviet Union is comparable for the…

There was word-wide horror at the amount of radiation that escaped from Fukashima’s reactors; however, that amount was minimal when compared to the degree of radiation that fell on Japan in the nuclear bombings of 1945.

    crucial in the Cold War. In 1949, the Soviet Union ended the United States nuclear monopoly, and the U.S was not prepared for this (Holloway, P. 384). It was not the quantity of nuclear weapons that caused concern; it was the vast increase in their destructive power as the hydrogen bomb replaced the atomic bomb, and missiles fired across continents replaced bombs dropped by planes. Using (and developing) nuclear weapons came with a great responsibility that was not to be taken lightly. During…
