What does M.A.D. mean? M.A.D. refers to the full-scale use of nuclear weapons by two opposing sides, resulting in one clear, obvious outcome – mutually assured destruction. The policy of M.A.D. rests on the idea that if two countries or continents are equally as capable of destroying one another through nuclear attack, then there is no incentive for either side to pull the trigger, or remove it. Instead, nuclear-capable countries keep each other in check with the knowledge of the MAD doctrine, and that any sort of “first move” would result in global nuclear devastation.

Australia's response to their secret weapons program was yeah na yeah nah
I thought that the reason why nuclear annihilation never happened during the Cuban Missile Crisis was because the subs missile door got stuck and it prevented the missile from being launched? Or am I thinking of a different crisis?
Would you guys doing a piece of holodomor it up as a famine in Ukraine and is t really talked about much in the west
End of humanity ? Nah. For your surviving depends on if you are living in the USA or somewhere in Patagonia
A video of the great train robbery 1963 would be very interesting
So Cuba was armmed because the usa put nukes in turkey and tried to attack with the the bay of pigs…. the usa seems to be the baddies in most this stuff.
There were also a radio transmission from the US fleet and the Russian submarine:
US Fleet: Ambatukam
Russian Submarine: амбатунат
US Fleet: Ambasing
Russian Submarine: амбатублоу
US Fleet: Ambatukaaa haaaaaaa aaaaaa
This clearly indicates that both sides are confused of what's happening. Truly fascinating.
MAD (Cold war- 2022)
that thumbnail is one of the most cursed things simple history has ever made
Why always naming Cuba but not the turkey missle stations
Thumbnail will be reality. Narcistic kill by the nuke, fk them all up who is pro nuclear war
Well I assume it well become a new era of madmax
The animations look better then ever before
Hey, stop getting MAD over the Cold War
Missed the Dropshot plan when the US planned to bomb the USSR with atomic bombs. Which was somewhat similar to the British "Unthinkable".

2:24 the more you look at this map the more you wanna take your eyes off it
War war never changes
I don’t care if I die as long as the enemy suffers and dies first
and here we go again. hi from Ukraine, 2022
easy, just swallow all your Rad-X and RadAway !
With the next generation she going to be ridiculously over powered.
I did not know about the part with the Soviet submarine
Pretty sure the U.K. can launch nukes by air, land and sea ?

6:14 that's not russian targets, that's Denmark
Why does this channel always have like 10-40 seconds at the end of every video where it's just literal nothing?
No such thing as mutually accepted destruction. That is so selfish and sociopathic. When did everyone agree to this?
Deterrence is just a fool's game.
I live in Africa, I don’t care if the west and east wants to destroy themselves
What about that time when the Soviets thought that the USA had launched nukes in them but it was just a computer glitch? It’s not like the Russians were super close to retaliate with more nukes
the netherlands has 21 nukes as far as ik
soooooo yeah they american made nukes tho
Both America and Russia had to do some stupid a— ideas that affects us today because of the d—k measuring contest known as the Cold War
Why did Vasily Arkhipov never get a Nobel Peace Prize? He's done more for World Peace, then Barack Obama did… As did the Atom Bomb and the MAD Concept, by the way…
MAD people rule the world unfortunately.
Hoenygain sounds like a homeypot
best…thumbnail…EVER!!!
idk why but that animation of the silo opening is so smooth and detailed out of nowhere…
its hilarious how humans are the most likely cause for human extinction
Watch "The Hunt for Red October" movie
Speak of mutually assured destruction?
Nice story, tell it to readers digest.
When one country had nuclear weapons, they were setting those things like they were firecrackers. Since two countries have had nuclear weapons, not one of them has gone off. They gave the Jewish scientist couple, who sold the nuclear secrets to the Soviets the electric chair, but in retrospect they should of got the Nobel Peace Prize.
after Nukung Earth , Peace will finally come
