In the midst of the ongoing war in Ukraine, a prominent military expert discusses the topic of nuclear weapons and the risk of a third world war. He acknowledges that the short answer to the question of whether we should be afraid of a nuclear war is “no”, but emphasizes the importance of being informed about the subject. The expert notes that many people are worried about the use of nuclear weapons and the risk of a third world war, and that it is a complex topic that requires a nuanced understanding. He argues that the role of nuclear weapons is not to wage war, but to deter war, and that they are designed to be terrifying. He also notes that the probability of a nuclear war is very low, and that it is unlikely that such a war would occur.
