Should The United States Keep Nuclear Weapons In Turkey?

The United States should not keep their nuclear weapons in Turkey because nuclear weapons are harmful to the environment. A mass amount of research has been done, and scientists themselves have stated that nuclear weapons pose the single biggest threat to Earth’s environment. Nuclear weapons should be controlled because if a small-scale war were to arise, this small war would still devastate the world’s ecosystems and climate. The corruption that could occur due to a small-scale war can cause damage which would last more than a decade. In addition, by adding more nuclear weapons to arsenals, more soot is released into the air which is a mass of impure carbon particles which results from the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons. This soot
This type of nuclear conflict can be caused if the United States attack Turkey, which should not be something that the United States ends up doing. Some may say that the nuclear weapons that are located in Turkey today cannot be accessed by Turkey themselves, but that is not the case. The United States nuclear weapons that are kept in Turkey can be accessed because there is not much protection or safety that protects the nuclear arms. With the large number on nuclear weapons that are distributed around the world today, it is no surprise that there is enough nuclear material to create yet another 100,000 nuclear weapons. Although the United States is a rather large country, cities would still take damage. Also, countries that are densely packed would fare the most in the aftermath of a nuclear war, causing the world to slowly degrade. Even though specific geographic regions are targeted by nuclear weapons, the environment of the world is affected. One of those effects could be the rapid cooling of the
This toxicity of nuclear weapons not only causes cancer, but a lot more health problems. The short term effects from radiation is nausea, vomiting, malnutrition, and fatal dehydration. The long term effects include thyroid cancer, lymphoma, and malformations of children. These effects can be deadly, further proving that nuclear weapons are a harm to the environment. Although nuclear weapons can affect the environment very negatively, it isn’t just the nuclear weapons that affect the environment. If there is a nuclear explosion, the capacity of the healthcare system which responds to this emergency is very important as well. As well as the healthcare system, a country or city must have enough money to help and lead them out of the aftermath of nuclear war. In the United States, “clean up” of this aftermath is projected to cost more than 300 billion through the year of 2070, making nuclear war a very costly activity. Not only are nuclear weapons costly money wise, they are costly
