Reading this makes me relieved that Nazi Germany did not obtain nuclear weapons - else a regime change ousting Hitler might not have happened at all, and it would've been free to carry on its agenda with less fear of Allied intervention.
- Benjamin_Dobell 9y agoI'm not so sure about that. Nazi Germany invaded many neighbouring countries. You can bet that if North Korea invades South Korea the presence of nuclear arsenal won't cause the UN to simply ignore their actions.
- vtange 9y agoEvery nuclear power since WWII has had the ability to invade many countries with minimal fear of retaliation.. Of course, lots of fingers point to the U.S., but China and Russia have invaded places as well. The article basically postulates that any state with nuclear weapons guarantees its basic territorial integrity. That means sure, we might have landed in Normandy and secured France and the USSR might've secured Poland, but the German heartland would've been a no-go for the Allies for fear of a nuke to Paris or London, and a safe-zone for Hitler and his agenda for Jews, etc.
