This weapon is the nuclear missile, and it needs to be banned before it’s too late. Born out of necessity, nuclear weapons were created at a time when the United States required a means of delivering a quick and decisive final blow to its enemy, Japan, in World War II. The creation of these weapons of mass destruction set forth
