Tbh nuclear bombs is a really stupid idea I mean I think no one should have them cuz the after effects never leave all that nuclear waste is still gonna be there in years to come I think everyone should atop making them then we would not need them for protection

I do believe that we do need them to preserve our way of life.

Take it any way you wish, but that is my not-so-humble opinion. B)

There are other means of protection. Necessary? Probably not. Useful? Perhaps.

The countries that have them certainly think so.

Plus it provides all sorts of excuses for meddling in the affairs of countries that don't.
