I remember, when I was growing up, it was never a question of if nuclear war would come but when. There was a whole genera of science fiction devoted to life on Earth after nuclear war. We knew that computer guided missiles could bring nuclear destruction down on us in minutes, at any time and without warning.
Now it’s been 65 years since the last atomic bomb was use in an attack (Nagasaki, August 9, 1945). I don’t know if it seem like it to you younger people, but to us, humanity has shown great restraint.
Needs to be 5 mins. Someone fix that for me.
