The reality of a nuclear war probably seems unimaginable to the average American.
But for the past two years, the Ukrainian and American governments have had missiles on the brain, specifically those from Russia. If Ukraine breaks Putin’s hold on Crimea, there’s a real possibility he might retaliate in the most serious of manners.
Those aren’t the only nukes that have been in the news in the last decade. The Iran deal restricted the country’s nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of sanctions. North Korea’s Kim Jong Un continues to threaten the West with his missiles.
