While many people think that nuclear
weapons
 are dangerous,
this
 is a highly controversial topic. In my personal opinion, they
also
 carry significant advantages. Let's take a look at both sides of
this

 an expensive process that takes a lot of time and is considered harmful to nature.
In addition
 to

, we've all seen terrible consequences when
such
weapons

first
 two usages" of nuclear bombs; let's hope that it would be the former.
Nevertheless
, I tend to believe that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages in
this
 particular case. The invention of nuclear munitions has brought peace to our world; a fragile one, though.
