The undiscussed counterpoint is how a new weapon will also result in saving lives if used wisely. Nuclear stockpiling is a darn effective war deterrent, and has prevented an uncountable number of hot wars.
- wat10000 2y agoIt’s too early to conclude that nuclear weapons save more lives than they take.

Even then, it’s possible we got lucky and nukes were actually more dangerous than not having them, but we’d at least be able to definitely say that their total kill count is only X, for whatever X turns out to be.
