Some believe that nuclear weapons benefit the world at large. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It has been many years since the first nuclear

weapon

was created and people still debate about its actual use. There is a popular view that nuclear

weapons

actually benefit the

world

in general, but I find it difficult to agree

with

Change preposition

apply

show examples

given the potential danger of

such

a

weapon

, both in political and environmental contexts, especially in the contemporary era. First of all, only several countries around the

world

have atomic bombs and the whole conversation around the fairness of having

this

weapon

is irrational. Smaller countries cannot afford

such

weapons

of mass destruction and

this

factor automatically makes them less powerful in the eyes of superpowers, and some other countries that have these

weapons

,

such

as North Korea.

This

inequality creates a

world

where many nations cannot openly voice their opinions because of fear, and

this

, in my view, is not fair in terms of achieving a political balance in

this

highly integrated

world

we are living in now.

Secondly

, if a nuclear

weapon

is used anytime soon, its damage to the ecosystems of the

world

could be unprecedented and the horrors of the 1945 Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings could be overshadowed by a more powerful

weapon

in a seemingly more peaceful

world

of the 21st century. Nuclear

weapons

destroy targeted areas fully without consideration for protecting flora and fauna.

Also

, bombed areas suffer from high radiation exposure for many years and could become infertile for many decades.

Thus

, considering the lack of justice in political terms and potential environmental disasters, I believe nuclear

weapons

only make

this

world

worse. They must not be supported and invested in.
