The possibility of nuclear warfare existed and developed the strategic concept called MAD or Mutually Assured Destruction. The essence of this doctrine was that an attack using atomic devices would be countered with a massive counter attack involving such a massive deployment of nuclear devices that the earth would be reduced to a bunch of radioactive ashes in which no one: belligerents or bystanders could possibly survive. Blast away and the earth will die. Shoot at us and we will destroy the world that we both occupy. Give it your best shot because it is a no win proposition. This was the the Cold War, if you build one bomb, our nation will build five. If you go with hydrogen bombs, our nation will produce multi-warhead hydrogen bombs. Escalation was present at every turn. Madness was present at every turn. The Band Played On.
