I have not read all the post in this thread.. but I´m very interrested in the cold war history.. so let´s get back to the cold war !
I´ll start with a statement that hopefully will be discussed contoversial
The question.. who won the cold war ??
I´ll tell you... the Atomic Bomb did !!
why ? Because without the massive nuclear tests
that radiated huge parts of our planet for dozens of years
.. the cold war would have turned into a hot war not long after world war 2 has ended. But nukes were the only thing
that were scarry enough to prevent this. And noone dared to start doomsday.
So my question to you.
Do you think cold war would have turned into a hot one
if there wouldn´t have been nukes ?
If you can answer the questiuon above for yourself with "yes"... do you think the massive nuke tests were justified compared to a hot world war 3 without nukes ?
I´m interested in your opinion !!
