In the torrent of history, the existence of nuclear weapons is like a shock, which not only represents the pinnacle of human science and technology, but also a double-edged sword in the international political ecology. Once, the sentence "Without nuclear weapons, I really bullied you, and with nuclear weapons, I have to bully you even more!" The joke illustrates the complex entanglement between nuclear forces and international relations.
The Soviet Union, a superpower that was the equals of the United States of America during the Cold War, was able to maintain a delicate balance within the framework of its allies, although it had friction with United States before it possessed nuclear weapons. When the Soviet Union possessed nuclear weapons, this balance was completely upset, and United States's attitude towards the Soviet Union changed dramatically. The possession of nuclear weapons is like a hole card for a showdown, turning the original allies into incompatible opponents in an instant.
Can nuclear weapons really decide everything? Is it really with this "big killer" that a country can straighten its back and be fearless on the international stage? History gives a negative answer. The possession of nuclear weapons can certainly enhance a country's strategic deterrence, but it cannot fundamentally change a country's overall national strength and status. In the reality of power politics and international relations, even if a weak country possesses nuclear weapons, it is difficult for it to escape the fate of being bullied.
The illusion of the same end is nothing more than a fantasy of the weak against the strong, a utopia that tries to achieve self-preservation through destruction. In fact, in the brutal game of international politics, this illusion is simply vulnerable. The strong will only calculate their own interests, evaluate the risks and benefits, and will never be easily threatened by the so-called "common end". Therefore, the real role of nuclear weapons is not to trigger an end of the world, but to become a tool for a strategic balance between the great powers.
We must be soberly aware that nuclear weapons do not bring real security, but only a temporary deterrent. True security comes from a strong country and a peaceful international environment. Therefore, we should advocate nuclear disarmament, promote the building of a world free of nuclear weapons, and make peace and development truly the main theme of human society.
In international relations, the interaction between countries is far from being a simple game of the jungle, but a game full of strategy and wisdom. Nuclear weapons are only a card in this game, not a decisive factor. What can really determine a country's status is its comprehensive development in the economic, scientific, technological, cultural, and other aspects.
History and reality have told us countless times that only through peaceful development and enhancing its comprehensive national strength can a country truly gain a foothold in the international arena. Nuclear weapons are not a guarantee of national rejuvenation, let alone a statement of national dignity. True dignity and security come from a country's self-improvement and national wisdom.
Let us look back at history, learn from history, cherish peace, and pursue common development. Let us work together to build a harmonious, stable and prosperous world, so that nuclear weapons can become a thing of the past and peace and development can forever illuminate the future of mankind.
