Ever since August 6th 1945 when the United States dropped the first nuclear bomb (Little Boy) on Hiroshima and then again on the August 7th when the US the second nuclear bomb (Fat Man) on Nagasaki. Then there’s the Russian test bomb hydrogen bomb the Tsar Bomba which is the largest bomb to be dropped which had the equivalent of 1,570 times the energy of the Fat Man and Little Boy combined. These nuclear weapon tests are still going on in the country of Democratic People’s Republic of Korea one of these tests almost landed on a city. Since then many countries have continuously been making the nuclear bomb more powerful to the point where one nuclear bomb could blow up the entire country of Russia and then some. Since then the country of Switzerland mandated that every household to have a bomb shelter in case of bombings. The country of Switzerland is committed to getting nuclear powers to take their fingers off of the launch button. In 2007 Switzerland and other countries introduced a resolution to the UN General Assembly to make nuclear-armed countries take their nuclear missiles off high-alert. The country of Switzerland also signed the Non-proliferation treaty in 1968 which prevented the spread of nuclear weapons and similar technology.
The country of Switzerland believes we should strengthen the Non-proliferation treaty.
And we should put a ban on the production and testing of nuclear war heads.
