Quote from the book \u201eSicherheitspolitik verstehen\u201c (\u201eUnderstanding security policy\u201c, 2021) by Lieutenant General (ret.) Kersten Lahl<\/a> and Prof. Dr. Johannes Varwick<\/a> (page 130):<\/p>\n \u201eAs a result, three conclusions can be drawn:<\/p>\n Firstly<\/strong>, nuclear weapons have a damage potential that puts the survival of the entire human race at high risk.<\/p>\n Secondly<\/strong>, this is precisely why they have so far been able to play a rather crisis-stabilising role in international practice – because a concrete deployment would be disastrous for all sides.<\/p>\n Thirdly<\/strong>, there is no guarantee that this will always be the case. On the contrary: the more nuclear actors ‘play along’, the more sophisticated the technical developments become and the more complex the strategic decision-making field around nuclear missions and threats of deployment, the higher the risk of a lack of international controllability of the category of nuclear weapons.”<\/p>\n Notes on the three points of this quote<\/a> (PDF, 2 pages, Reading time about 5 minutes)<\/p>\n \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014-<\/p>\n For the risks and consequences of nuclear war by mistake, see also menu item Risks<\/a>.<\/p>\n Film by SWR from March 2021 about nuclear war by mistake on youtube<\/a> (in german).<\/p>\n On the connection between nuclear war risk and climate change: https:\/\/www.fwes.info\/akav-klima-20-1-en.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014-<\/p>\n More information on the nuclear war risk is available from various organisations, such as:<\/p>\n Things to know Nuclear War Risk Quote from the book \u201eSicherheitspolitik verstehen\u201c (\u201eUnderstanding security policy\u201c, 2021) by Lieutenant General (ret.)
