Nuclear BombsBy: Bryan Kirby

Controversy

• Some people are pro-nuke, and some people against them. They are useful because they can take out an enemy is a quick time and leave severe damage, and it could end a war. But the thing is while ending the war and saving our people, it kills millions of civilians who have nothing to do with the war. It can also leave after effects and kill people over time in the next generation.

This is a Russian plane carrying a nuke.
