Cause and Effect the Indian-Pakistani Conflict and the Prospect of Nuclear War.
Nuclear war is something that we have all heard about. It seems to be overdramatized in movies. But perhaps the movies are right. Maybe we are on the brink of a chasm so dark and ominous that it drowns out all faith and light. A nuclear holocaust occurring would wipe out all of civilization as we know it. We would be essentially thrown into a dark age. Never in the history of the world has there been such a dramatic event, but that does not mean that it cannot happen.

"Once we all lived in peace, but when technology increased we went to war." If humans followed a set system like that we would have already destroyed one another. Perhaps we have already in the past. Perhaps nuclear power is what will bring us back to the dark ages. This is a topic that has concerned the world for many years. But I fear that too few people are paying heed to the threat of nuclear war. NUCLEAR WAR
"Face this, the missile's on the way.
Crisis, will the bomb be dropped today?
Last war, to end this bloody mess.
Danger, It's you the real menace.

With all their foes their doing away.
We're all in this - hey hey hey.
No one dares to talk aloud 'bout the real imminent crisis.
The gruesome leaders are counting their bombs.
Weatherly 2Blow them straight up your arse.
There's no cover in the case of war. Come on, drop it!

Sirens - sirens in the heat.
Fighting - on your TV screen.

The secret bases are alarmed, the troops are on the alert.
The counter attack is set on foot.
Depends on a single word.

With all their foes their doing away.
And all enclosed have to die.
There's no cover in the case of war.

[Chorus:]
Nuclear war.
That's the nuclear war.

Watch out - for the news today. Fallout - over israel.

The bomb has struck in morningtime.
A shelter won't be of use.
A few survived to waste away.
But they'll never know the cause, of the nuclear war."
(pLyrics)

Although a nuclear war seems like something that will never happen in our lifetime, it is

    Our current economy and civilization is unstable. The CO2 emissions, reproduction rates, and food production is alarming. In the lecture it stated that “estimates are that global demand is now 30% higher than that which is sustainable.” That means we are short food, and it is not looking good for the future. We are unable to produce food quickly, the temperatures are rising, and people are still uneducated about how the things they are doing impact our future. I think in times like these it would only take a small trigger to push people over the edge, which could impact civilization as we know it.…

    Pessimists argue that the growth of nuclear weapon states will most likely lead to a complex international setting with dangerously unstable tensions between states. Even a simple ignition of a single state can lead to a chain reaction of nuclear attacks ultimately leading to an all-out nuclear world war. I disagree with this claim because no responsible state will launch a nuclear attack against a state possessing nuclear weapons knowing that it will face an immediate nuclear counter threat by the targeted state and its…

    According to various online historical articles written by the history.com staff the U.S has been associated with over 230 wars since the beggining of the thirteen colonies. As the definition of “again” has inflicted, in order to make America great again we would have to return to a word of war.. With America’s past history of 239 war, another myriad of wars can be added to this list. The infamous politician, Donald J. Trump has threatened various countries as well as groups of people. He has been noted to have had said, “The United States should not try so hard to stop nuclear proliferation.” (the washington post.com) Trump had declared, “proliferation is going to happen anyway… If Japan had that nuclear war threat, I’m not sure that would be a bad thing for us. Nor would it be so bad, if South Korea and Saudi Arabia had nuclear weapons too.” The stress on anti- proliferation movements is a pathway carved for nuclear war. We would not only be returning to a world of war, but one of nuclear…

    Weapons of Mass Destruction and World War III are fears that citizens around the world are still experiencing today. However, World War III would differ from every other war because currently, multiple nations have nuclear capabilities. The use of these types of weapons goes back to World War II, when the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. These attacks showed the power and devastation bombs like this could cause. Following World War II, the Cold War began. This was…

    During the Cold War period there was a conflict between the Communist nations led by the Soviet Union and the democratic nations led by the United States. The United States and the Soviet Union represented two opposing government systems. One of the direct threats to the citizens of America was the possibility of a nuclear war because of the two bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, evidence existed to show how horrible a full-blown nuclear exchange would possibly erupt. This began because Cuba received a nuclear missile from the Soviet Union and America was forced to protect itself at any cost. That problem was that even in the case of victory of a nuclear war, the fruits of victory would still be ashes in our mouths (Farber, 2012). No matter if we win or lose, if we enter a nuclear war, the world will be destructed.…

    The pope quickly organized a meeting to prepare the world for a weapon that would destroy all life on earth. "Pope Innocent II organized the conference in 11391" because of a crossbow. Approximately 800 years from this conference, the Cold War has begun. The potential of mass destruction could occur at any moment. More efforts for mining and technology went toward constructing nuclear weapons. Missiles, such as, the Tomahawk® Cruise Missile and the Trident Fleet Ballistic Missile were the new wave of nuclear weapons, in the 1980 's, used in the Cold War. Safety restrictions and treaties stopped these weapons of mass destruction from causing an Armageddon to happen.…

    The Cuban Missile crisis was perhaps the closest the world has gone to the point of all out nuclear war, and for 13 days in October the world was watching a dangerous game of ideological brinkmanship. The intensity of the situation was probably best described by Soviet General and Army Chief of Operations, Anatoly Gribkov as, "nuclear catastrophe was hanging by a thread ... and we weren't counting days or hours, but minutes."…

    Cold War Arms Race

    Late 1940s to around 1990 marked a very significant point in history. This point in history contained evidence of the roller-coaster of a relationship between two great nations, the United States of America and the Soviet Union. The Cold War differed immensely from other wars. The Cold War was not a conventional war between the United States and the Soviet Union, but more a war of threats. A well-known term during this time was “Arms Race.” This term was the race between the two nations in the development of nuclear weapons. The fear of one of these nations destroying the other nation was a rapidly growing fear because of this “Arms Race.” In fact, many citizens, on both sides, lived in fear every day preparing for an attack. In class we studied…

    The events of Tribulation serve as a warning to today’s society. Many current day countries have nuclear weaponry, chemical weaponry, bombs, and other massively destructive tools at their disposal. Comparably, the Old People had very advanced technology as well. Their technologies led to a nuclear war with “the ground [being] fused into black glass” and the oceans becoming “frozen ink” (Wyndham 179). The author is trying to portray the possible future we may have, and such things have occurred already. The 1945 bombing of Japan (Hiroshima and Nagasaki) resulted in thousands of genetic mutations due to radiation, which is exactly what occurred to the Old People. With more and more enemy countries acquiring access to nuclear weaponry, a devastating war may not be far behind.…
