The role of nuclear weapons in global affairs has been primarily as a deterrent. The possession of nuclear weapons by certain countries serves as a powerful force to prevent other countries from attacking or threatening them. The fear of mutually assured destruction has helped maintain a certain level of peace and stability in international relations. However, the presence of nuclear weapons also poses significant risks, such as the potential for accidental use, the spread of nuclear technology to rogue states or non-state actors, and the impact of a nuclear war on the global environment and population. Overall, nuclear weapons have played a complex and significant role in shaping the dynamics of global affairs.
