Question
Matthew Kroenig’s book about the “logic” of these things critiques Robert Jervis, who had published a book on their “illogic” decades earlier. These things are likened to “crystal balls” foretelling the consequences of war in works on their ethics written by one of the theorists of complex interdependence. The stability-instability paradox refers to these things’ ability to increase minor conflict while decreasing major conflict. Scott Sagan and Kenneth (*) Waltz debated whether the world is a better place with these things in it. Defensive realists believe that these objects prevent war through their second-strike capabilities. For 10 points, what weapons may prevent war through the threat of mutually assured destruction? ■END■
ANSWER: nuclear weapons [or nuclear bombs or nuclear warheads; accept nukes; accept weapons of mass destruction or WMDs; prompt on bombs, missiles, or warheads; prompt on weapons until read]
