Question: The concept of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) is cited by many scholars as the mechanism that kept the peace during the Cold War. However, that does not mean the concept was not problematic. Was the United States government actually protecting its citizens if it deliberately puts them at risk of global nuclear war? Or was this the best possible option, given that without nuclear weapons a conventional war (World War III) against the Soviets would have been much more likely?
