MAD stands for Mutually Assured Destruction, a military strategy during the Cold War that posited that nuclear powers would deter each other from launching a nuclear attack due to the certainty of total destruction for both the attacker and the defender. This doctrine relied on the idea that neither side would benefit from a nuclear war, as it would lead to catastrophic consequences for all involved. Thus, MAD acted as a deterrent against the use of nuclear weapons, contributing to a tense but stable geopolitical landscape during the Cold War.

Is a bumblebee war or cold blooded?
It is in fact very unlikely that a bumblebee would have a war going on in its blood and the odds of this being a nuclear war much similar to the 'cold war' or a war in which people are being ruthlessly 'cold blooded is extremely unlikely. If i was asked this question in an exam i would probably answer neither due to the low probability of their even being a war. If however you mean warm or cold blooded the answer is in fact that they are cold blooded like all non-mammals or birds.
