Fact or Fiction

Is this a real possibility? Of course. Many countries now have the technology to manufacture these weapons. Does that mean that they will use them?

Matualy Assured Distruction or better known as “M.A.D.”  is a doctrine of military strategy in which a full-scale use of nuclear weapons by two opposing sides would effectively result in the destruction of both the attacker and the defender.[1] It is based on the theory of deterrence according to which the deployment of strong weapons is essential to threaten the enemy in order to prevent the use of the very same weapons. The strategy is effectively a form of Nash equilibrium, in which both sides are attempting to avoid their worst possible outcome — nuclear annihilation.

The possibility of country using a nuclear device is very low, but that does not mean that a “mad man” would not use one. There have been reports that small nuclear devices have been lost. These could very easily end up in the wrong hands.

So is it Fact or Fiction?  This is a very real fact!
