== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Nuclear Strategy''' β The development of doctrines and plans for the "Use" or "Threatened Use" of nuclear weapons. * '''Deterrence''' β The goal of "Preventing" an attack by "Convincing the enemy" that the "Cost of attacking" will be "Greater than the gain." * '''MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction)''' β The doctrine that if two sides have enough nukes to survive a "First Strike" and "Retaliate," neither will ever start a war. * '''First Strike''' β An initial "Surprise Attack" designed to "Destroy" the enemy's nukes before they can use them. * '''Second Strike Capability''' β The ability of a nation to "Fire Back" even after being hit by a massive first strike (usually using "Submarines" or "Hidden Silos"). * '''Nuclear Triad''' β The three ways to launch nukes: **Land** (Silos), **Air** (Bombers), and **Sea** (Submarines). * '''Proliferation''' β The "Spreading" of nuclear weapons to more countries. * '''Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)''' β The global agreement to "Stop the spread" of nukes and eventually "Disarm." * '''Extended Deterrence''' β A "Nuclear Umbrella": when a superpower (like the USA) promises to use its nukes to "Protect an ally" (like Japan or Germany). * '''Tactical vs. Strategic Nukes''': ** '''Tactical''': "Small" nukes for the "Battlefield." ** '''Strategic''': "City-Killer" nukes for "Total War." </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
