Nobody told me to read those books. Not even teachers. Hell, in History classes we are still reading about Napoleon, the French Revolution and the American Revolution.
And i knew about the deterrance theory. I knew about the theory but i didn't think it was a good theory. Reading about it again, it seems that it worked. Both sides in the Cold War were trying to fight eachother without actually going to war. Both NATO and the Soviet Union knew they couldn't fight eachother directly. Why is that? Because of nukes. Nobody wanted to fight eachother. Because if one side attacked, the attacking side would get oblitoreted by the Attacked side. It would be suicide.
See? I get it now. It just finally entered my head that deterrence works.
