The ultimate goal of a nuclear a weapon (as of any weapon) is to keep peace.
As it is said in the art of war, the good general is the one who wins without having to draw his sword.
So a good nuclear weapon is one that you will never need to use.
- nathan_compton 2y ago"The ultimate goal of a nuclear a weapon (as of any weapon) is to keep peace." This certainly does not seem obvious to me. It seems eminently arguable that the ultimate goal of a weapon is to make someone else do what you want or eliminate them or punish them if they do not. Or the ultimate goal of a weapon is to kill something to eat it. Or other stuff. When the first ape-map picked up the first jaw bone with the intent of bashing in another person's head, I doubt he was thinking "I'm looking forward to keeping this peace with this."
