Would a world in which most of the states rather than just a few had nuclear weapon and long range ballistic missiles be more peaceful or more war prone?
A world where most states possess nuclear weapons and long-range ballistic missiles could lead to a precarious balance of power, potentially increasing the risk of conflict due to heightened tensions and miscalculations. The proliferation of such weapons might foster an environment of mutual deterrence, but it could also escalate regional conflicts and lead to arms races. Additionally, the likelihood of nuclear weapons falling into the hands of non-state actors could further destabilize global security. Overall, while some argue that deterrence promotes peace, the risks associated with widespread nuclear armament tend to increase the chances of war.

What is the difference between deterrence by denial and deterrence by punishment?
Fred Korkisch This is a rather artificial question, because in the official literature the term "deterrence by denial" was never used, asked, nor answered, nor mentioned. The post-nuclear literature tried to invent and imagined a number of terms and phrases that were never used by the people who wrote about nuclear war planning and doctrine. Deterrence was either used in relation to * Gradual Deterrence (see: The gradual use of nuclear weapons, or a gradual use of force, like the escalation President Johnson used against North Vietnam etc.); * Minimum Deterrence (see: The threat to use force, including nuclear weapons on a limited scale, or the minimum number of strategic weapons which provides a credible deterrence; see SALT, START); * Finite Deterrence (see: The nuclear capabilties which will survive any enemy attack, available for a devastating counterstrike, like SLBM-weapons on submarines; * Deterrence by Punishment (this is a rather juridical term, used after WW II, to explain the legal rightfulness of the bombardments of German and Japanese cities, as a justified "punishment" for the aggressions of both states, used later on for the possible use of nuclear weapons as a retaliatorial strike. To explain "Deterrence by Denial" one can follow the logic of protection of nuclear delivery systems by various measures, like dispersal of bombers, missiles in silos, SLBM-submarines etc.
How did the cold war start and what weapons were used to fight this war?
The Cold War began after World War II, primarily due to ideological differences between the United States and the Soviet Union, with tensions escalating over issues like the division of Europe and nuclear arms. Rather than direct military confrontation, the conflict was characterized by proxy wars, espionage, and ideological competition. Key weapons included nuclear arsenals, which both superpowers amassed, alongside conventional military forces, and advanced technology such as missiles and surveillance systems. The Cold War also featured psychological warfare and propaganda to influence public opinion and gain ideological supremacy.
Who thought of the idea to make a nuclear bomb?
H. G. Wells in his 1914 novel "The World Set Free" was the first to publish on the use of nuclear bombs in a war, he was the first to use the term atomic bomb to refer to bombs that obtain their energy from inside the atom (rather then from chemical reactions between atoms/molecules).Note: H. G. Wells atomic bombs were not based on using nuclear fission or nuclear fusion (as the real bombs are), as the nucleus of the atom had not yet been discovered and neither nuclear fission nor nuclear fusion had been discovered. As the only method of releasing the energy of the atom known at the time was radioactive decay, H. G. Wells based his atomic bombs (and atomic engines) on a hypothetical method of "accelerated radioactive decay".
How well do you think infantry soldiers uniforma protected them from modern weapon?
Infantry soldiers' uniforms offer limited protection against modern weaponry, primarily designed for camouflage and mobility rather than ballistic defense. While some uniforms incorporate lightweight materials that provide a degree of resistance to environmental factors, they typically lack sufficient armor to withstand high-caliber rounds or shrapnel from explosives. Modern soldiers often rely on additional body armor, such as ballistic vests and helmets, to enhance their protection on the battlefield. Overall, the effectiveness of uniforms in protecting against contemporary threats is minimal without supplemental protective gear.
What is the first time plasma was used in war?
The first use of plasma in warfare occurred during World War II when scientists developed and utilized plasma weapons, particularly in the context of nuclear weapons. The most notable example is the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which released immense energy from nuclear fusion and fission processes, creating a plasma state. However, the term "plasma" in this context is often associated with the extreme temperatures and states of matter involved in nuclear explosions rather than conventional weaponry.
How many ICBMs does the UK have?
The United Kingdom possesses a fleet of four Vanguard-class submarines, each capable of carrying up to 16 Trident II (D5) intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). However, the exact number of operational ICBMs is classified. As of recent assessments, the UK is estimated to have around 225 warheads, with a portion designated for use on these missiles. The UK's nuclear strategy emphasizes a minimum credible deterrent rather than a large arsenal.
Was the caddos Indians war like or peaceful?
Rather peaceful
What other nations have nuclear submarines?
US, USSR, Red China, Great Britain, and France have bona-fide atomic subs, taht is submarines powered by Nuclear reactors. all of these powers also have atomic and in some cases conventional, ( Russia has some) submarines which are equipped with long range nuclear missiles- such as Polaris, Poseidon, Trident, which are properly Missile types rather than submarine types.
What do nuclear warheads and artillery missiles have in common?
Both are weapons that are traditionally bombardment weapons, rather than precision weapons. Both are used from a distance rather than at short range. Although they may be aimed at a target, both have high explosive yields and typically cause collateral damage (much more so for nuclear weapons). One weapon that fell into both categories was the MGM-52 Lance nuclear-capable missile (1972-1992). Another is the Russian OTR-21 tactical missile.
Can you give a sentence with the word peaceable?

What is the french word for peaceful living?

What is it like in a small town?

Can missiles destroy asteroids?
Missiles can be used to potentially deflect or break up an asteroid, rather than destroy it completely. The effectiveness of this method would depend on the size and composition of the asteroid. Efforts to develop technology for asteroid deflection are currently being researched.
What were other option rather an atomic bomb?
Atomic bombs are a type of Nuclear bomb and there are 2 types of nuclear bombs. The second type of nuclear bomb is a hydrogen bomb.
Do elephants have to be scared?
No elephants do not have to be scared. These animals are rather peaceful but are known to startle and scare easily and become aggressive.
Are fireworks nuclear fission?
No. Fireworks rely on chemical rather than nuclear energy. They are driven by an oxidation-reduction reaction. Fireworks were developed centuries before we discovered nuclear fission.
What would happen if you ignite a nuclear bomb in a volcano?
You get a rather large explosion.
