Mutually Assured Destruction

Mutually Assured Destruction is a strategic doctrine in nuclear deterrence theory wherein the full-scale use of nuclear weapons by two opposing sides would result in the complete annihilation of both the attacker and the defender, thereby preventing either side from initiating a nuclear conflict due to the certainty of reciprocal devastation.
