Reduce the number of weapons and you reduce the risk of war.
The US did not want to risk a nuclear confrontation with the communist superpowers.
The SALTI treaty was designed to limit the number of strategic nuclear weapons possessed by the United States and the Soviet Union. It aimed to promote arms control and reduce the risk of nuclear war during the Cold War.
getting lots of energy is done for peaceful reasons and kill lots of people if done in war
Well Détente really relaxed political tensions between the U.S and S.U and the "salt talks" were to limit the arms race so yes between the U.S and Russia Détente reduced the possibility of nuclear war.
There are several possibilities: -war/civil wars -lack of food -nuclear bomb's -lack of water -diseases
China would likely attack us and we would have total nuclear war.
Well, everyone could die
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.

No nuclear weapons have been used since World War 2. There were testings done by Russia and possibly other countries but they were never used against other nations.
Yes. Everyone is very scared of the nuclear war, once the nuclear war have broken out no one will survive. Hope that the nuclear war will not happen.
