Lets take a look at the Cold War and why Nukes were never used. Even though half the world was in a “war” against the other half, and both sides had Nukes, neither side ever used them. Why? It was something known as mutual assured destruction or MAD. The idea was that because both sides had enough nuclear power to completely destroy the other side, both sides could never use them. At the first sign of an attack from either side, the other side would counter attack; leading to both sides being destroyed, along with the rest of the world. MAD doesn’t work with North Korea or Iran because the fear is that they would sell their Nukes to terrorist. We and other countries cant retaliate against an unknown enemy, so mutual assured destruction doesn’t cause fear for North Korea, Iran or terrorists. This is not good.
