Why has the tension between India and Pakistan become global concern?
The tension between India and Pakistan has become a global concern for several reasons. For one, both nations have nuclear weapons. They have also fought two wars over the disputed region of Kashmir. The latter is now occupied by Pakistan to the West, India to the East, and China to the North. If no resolution is found, the ongoing issues can further escalate into war. This can surely destabilize the region and lead to mass deaths on both sides of the border.
A major scientific concern over nuclear energy is how to what?
A major scientific concern over nuclear energy is how to ensure the safe handling and storage of radioactive waste, as it remains hazardous for thousands of years. Additionally, preventing potential accidents and minimizing the risk of nuclear proliferation are also key concerns in the nuclear energy industry.
How many nuclear warheads did the Soviets build?
all together over the years, somewhere around 100,000. however most of these were recycled to make improved weapons. at the peak of the cold war the soviet stockpile contained over 30,000 nuclear weapons, about 10,000 of these were high yield strategic weapons.
How did concern over nuclear weapons influence Kennedy's foreign policy?
You can bring up the idea of the cold war and the fear of the spread of communist governments. The fear was that if governments that were hostile towards the United States obtained nuclear weapons then we would no longer have the strategic advantage. This fear led to the Cuban Missile Crisis when the Soviet Union supplied Cuba with weaponry that could reach the United States.
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.

How many times over can the US destroy the Earth with nuclear weapons?
The US nuclear weapons arsenal is powerful enough to destroy the Earth multiple times over. The exact number of times would depend on the specific yield of each warhead and the total number of warheads available.
How many times over can Russia destroy the Earth with nuclear weapons?
It is estimated that Russia has enough nuclear weapons to destroy the Earth multiple times over. A nuclear war involving Russia's full arsenal could lead to catastrophic global consequences, including nuclear winter and widespread destruction.
Will possession of nuclear weapons act as deterrent to Third World War?
