Ever wonder why nuclear war hasn't happened yet? ☢️ The doctrine of Mutual Assured Destruction, or MAD, is a key reason. It's based on the idea that if one side launches a nuclear attack, the other will retaliate, leading to total annihilation for both. This "second-strike capability" creates a stalemate, a concept known in Game Theory as a Nash Equilibrium. While critics say it's an outdated theory that doesn't account for new threats like cyber warfare or non-state actors, proponents argue it's what has kept a fragile peace for decades. #MAD #NuclearWarfare #HistoryShorts #Craig #ColdWar #NuclearDeterrence #GameTheory #NashEquilibrium #NuclearWeapons #MilitaryDoctrine #ColdWarHistory #NuclearProliferation #MilitaryStrategy #HistoricalConcepts
