"The Release of Atomic Energy Has Not Created A New Problem, It Has Merely Made More Urgent The Necessity Of Solving The Old One"- Albert Einstein

Nuclear proliferation. if there's one thing that still gets the leaders of the world up in arms, it's the leaders of the world arming themselves. The idea of a nuclear holocaust has been putting fear into the hearts of the world since 1945 when the Enola Gay decimated that first Japanese coastal city, ending one war and starting the next, and since then, as Einstein says in the above quote, the world has had a new sense of urgency about war. No longer would countries wholeheartedly commit hundreds of thousands of troops on the ground- the threat of a 'football' was far more urgent. War was never the same again.
